Press release from the issuing company

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Endeavor is proud to announce that it has been selected as a Georgia Fast 40 Company by the Atlanta chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth. Each year, ACG Atlanta honors middle market companies based in Georgia that have shown the greatest growth in head count and revenue over the previous three years. It is estimated that there are nearly two-thousand middle market companies operating in Georgia. To be considered for the Fast 40, nominated companies must be based out of Georgia with annual revenues between $15 and $500 million. Awards are presented to the top forty companies ranked on the basis of sustained revenue and employment growth over a three year period, with emphasis on the most recent year.

Since the inception of the company, Endeavor has grown by at least 20% each year. During one of the nation's worst economies last year, Endeavor experienced revenue growth of 35% and increased head count by 44% with the expansion of virtually every operations department and the addition of several seasoned resources in operations and executive management. In the past twelve months, since Endeavor’s recapitalization with Trivest Partners, Endeavor has doubled the headcount of its Atlanta based staff. Endeavor’s inclusion in The Fast 40 is the most recent growth-related award the company has received this year after being named winner of The Pacesetter Awards by the Atlanta Business Chronicle two months ago.

“The recognition Endeavor has received after such a big year has been quite an honor and is an affirmation of all the hard work performed by our team and capital partners,” said Justin R. McLain, Chief Executive Officer. “Being included as a Fast 40 company speaks to how hard the team has collectively worked in driving the success of Endeavor, which has enabled such phenomenal growth.”
