These are the 50 fastest-growing private companies in the Louisville area

From Louisville Business First,

Construction companies, contractors and other real estate-related businesses lead the fastest-growing companies in the area this year.

Louisville Business First is unveiling its 2018 Fast 50 — an annual list that ranks companies in the Louisville area by revenue growth. Construction projects have largely fueled our local economy in the last few years. The top company on our 2018 Fast 50, Freedom Property Group LLC, grew its revenue by an impressive 433 percent in the last three years, while a number of others on our list also posted triple-digit revenue gains over that time.

Those companies are ranked and featured in this gallery.  Click here to read more from Business First.

Louisville Business First honored 25 companies and nonprofits at The Olmsted this morning for our third-annual Best Places to Work in Greater Louisville awards.

The awards recognize local employers who ranked highest on an independent survey distributed by Omaha, Neb.-based Quantum Workplace. The survey asked employees about their office culture and work-life balance. Those answers helped us pinpoint places that offer extraordinary employee-friendly policies, programs and perks.

Employees from Rodefer Moss & Co. PLLC cheered for their company as they were announced.

You can see photos from the event in the slideshow above, although if you weren’t there you didn’t get to experience some of the enthusiastic cheers and chants the employees came up with when the name of their company was announced.

Some of the workplaces honored this year allow employees to bring pets to the office. Another brings in a stylist each month to give employees haircuts. And one employer even lets its workers crash at the company cabin in Gatlinburg.

(If our boss is reading this, we’ll settle for any of those perks.)

Congratulations to all of this year’s Best Places to Work honorees for creating a better company culture. They know that employee happiness directly affects the company’s bottom line.
