BERKS AND BEYOND ON TOP AGAIN
May 12th, 2011Leading Central and Southern Pennsylvania Staffing Firm Number Five on Greater Reading Top Businesses List
Wyomissing, PA –Berks and Beyond Employment Services, Inc. is pleased to announce that they were ranked fifth on this year’s Greater Reading Top Businesses list. This latest honor comes on the heels of several other recent marks of distinction for the leading Central and Southern Pennsylvania staffing service, including being named to Inavero’s 2011 Best of Staffing™ Client List, as well as the 2010 Berks Top Employers list.
Making the top five, let alone the Top 50, is a source of great pride for Chris Garner, President of Berks & Beyond. “It’s an honor to be recognized as one of Reading’s top businesses. We don’t get a lot of ‘thank yous’ in this business, but we go to bed at night knowing that we make a difference in our community.”
The success of this year’s Top 50 is great news for the local economy, proving that businesses of all sizes, and across all industries, have been able to sustain themselves throughout years of tremendous economic upheaval. Garner spoke to this point when interviewed. “Berks and Beyond’s success reflects a strong local economy, because we do business primarily with local companies,” stated Garner. “If they’re doing well, we do well.”
To make the Greater Reading Top Businesses list, companies had to nominate themselves or be nominated, and agree to supply revenue figures, which had to be at least $1 million yearly, for 2008 through 2010. They had to have headquarters in the Greater Reading area, and those not based in Berks County had to be members of the Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce & Industry. To create the list, co-sponsor KPMG used a formula that took into account actual dollar increases and percentage increases during the three-year period, giving the most recent years more weight.
