Owner Collin Hathaway leads the company to record growth recognized by the Puget Sound Business Journal
SEATTLE, WA / ACCESSWIRE / July 20, 2023 / The Midmarket Fast 50 ratings have been released and Guardian Roofing, one of the most trusted professional roofers in the Seattle market, has secured a place on their prestigious list.
Middle market businesses are an economic driver in the Puget Sound region, and the Middle Market Fast 50 List is the Puget Sound Business Journal’s annual heat index for the category. A small group of executives, including Guardian’s owner and investor Collin Hathaway, were also recognized by the Puget Sound Business Journal for their leadership in the middle market.
“Recognition from the Puget Sound Business Journal, the trusted leader in reporting business news and updates for the region, is a great honor and not to be taken lightly,” said Hathaway. “Guardian’s continued growth can absolutely be attributed to our shared commitment to the people of the community, while remaining true and fair to our internal team year after year as we grow. Take care of your team, take care of your customers, and the money will inevitably be worth it.”
Guardian Roofing was founded in 2005 by Matt and Lori Swanson and operates under the motto that every customer is a customer for life. In December 2016, Collin Hathaway joined the company as an owner investor and helped drive the company to record growth.
When asked what small businesses looking to scale up to mid-market can learn from his experience, Hathaway said, “In most organizations, the two most important elements of scaling are (a) the end goal and (b) the people. Assessing and nurturing talent, especially when considering new roles, is difficult, but it’s also the quickest way to change your growth trajectory. It was also important to us to hire people who have seen what looks good or great so they can help us learn faster and avoid some of the most common problems associated with growth.
Washington State’s midmarket companies are ranked on the Midmarket Fast 50. The mean market weighted value takes into account the percentage change in sales between 2020 and 2022 and the actual difference in sales over the same period. This value is intended to soften the difference between the sales growth of smaller companies and larger mid-market companies.
The Harvard Business Review said if the middle class were a country, it would be the fifth largest economy in the world. HBR described the post-pandemic sector as “stressed but resilient” compared to both smaller and larger companies.
“It goes without saying that we are very optimistic about the business growth that we have experienced and look forward to continuing this trend into 2024,” said Lori Swanson, Founder and CEO of Guardian Roofing.
