American Disposal Systems and Jest Notes & Baskets are named two of the top 25 fastest growing companies in Southern New Jersey.
Lumberton, NJ (PRWEB) June 20, 2006 -- The Greater Lumberton Business Association announced today that two of its members, American Disposal Systems and Jest Notes & Baskets were named to the Philadelphia Business Journal’s “South Jersey 25” -- an award program that recognizes the top 25 fastest-growing, privately held companies in South Jersey.
Of the 25 companies that made the list, Jest Notes & Baskets ranked 16 and American Disposal Systems ranked 17. It is the third year in which American Disposal Systems has been honored and it is the first year for Jest Notes & Baskets. The top 25 were ranked by researchers at Rowan University’s Rohrer College of Business, a "South Jersey 25" partner. The award recognizes the two company’s achievement in increasing their revenue by a certain percentage over three years. The companies are then ranked according to the percentage of revenue growth from the first to the third year.
"For me, this award validated my hard work and our company's mission. It's not rocket science. We exist to make people feel special. Our goal is to create loyal customers for our clients.” said Cheryl Pliskin, Owner Jest Notes & Baskets. “We send gifts to let people know that their business is valued. We thank people who take the time to make referrals to our clients. Simply put, being in the business of making people smile makes me quite lucky. I get up every single day and cannot wait to come to the shop. It sure isn't work!”
Becky Kasper-Town, President of American Disposal Systems stated, "Our family owned and operated business is honored to be recognized as one of the top 25 fastest growing companies in South Jersey by this noteworthy awards program. This award is a result of a hard working staff. Our company has been an asset to construction companies and is known as a reliable waste hauling and recycling business throughout the Delaware Valley. This award shows that we are doing something right.”
Becky Kasper-Town, President of American Disposal Systems, is also Treasurer of the Greater Lumberton Business Association. Chris Kasper, her brother and Owner of American Disposal Systems, Inc. accepted the award at the ceremony.
“It is fantastic to have two of our members, Becky Kasper-Town (American Disposal Systems) and Cheryl Pliskin (Jest Notes and Baskets) honored as top small businesses in South Jersey. They are both active members of the Greater Lumberton Business Association and consistently give their time and energy toward business association and community activities,” said Barry Lefkowitz, President of the Greater Lumberton Business Association.
The Philadelphia Business Journal honored the winners and revealed the rankings at a luncheon June 13th at Pine Hill Golf Club. Guests included executives, family, and employees from the winning companies, sponsors, and members of the South Jersey business community. The twenty-five companies were also profiled in a special supplement of the Philadelphia Business Journal on June 16th.
"In its 11th year, the South Jersey 25 has emerged as a great way to discover and track the progress of some of the region's fastest growing companies," said Bernard Dagenais, editor of the Philadelphia Business Journal. "These companies have impressive stories to tell about fields as varied as health care, technology, construction and communications. They represent jobs, dollars and some of the best entrepreneurs that South Jersey has to offer."
