Bridge Partners

Rank: 42 Revenue Growth: 129%

Bridge Partners consultants come from some of the biggest names in business. They could work nearly anywhere they want. They choose Bridge because they want to collaborate with their peers in more meaningful ways and build stronger client relationships. Bridge connects local knowledge with national presence in a uniquely collaborative business model. "We deliver results for companies from Fortune 50 to start-up, from technology and manufacturing to healthcare and transportation. We never force a project into a cookie-cutter methodology," says Richard Albrecht, President and CEO of Bridge Partners. "Instead, with our clients and each other across teams, functions, and seniority levels to deliver higher impact and better value."

That better value has translated into Bridge Partners being recognized as one of Consulting's Fastest growing Firms this year—ranking No. 42 with 129 percent growth rate over three years.

And Consulting magazine is not the only one noticing. The Puget Sound Business Journal has again named Bridge Partners one of Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the state. Now in its tenth year of business, the firm maintained an impressive growth rate of 156 percent. This is the fourth-year Bridge Partners has received this honor. "Our continued growth is the direct product of years of investment and commitment to our people," says Greg Proulx, managing director for the Pacific Northwest region. "We've tried to build our business the right way and consistently go above and beyond for our customers."

Albrecht echoes the sentiments expressed by Proulx.

"We want to build a business in which we can all take great pride," added Albrecht. "One where we treat people with respect and appreciate different ways of thinking and working. It sounds simple, but our people and the marketplace have responded."

Bridge Partners earns this recognition on the heels of a summer of awards. Seattle Business magazine recently named Bridge Partners a top-ten place to work in Washington, and Inc. Magazine named Bridge Partners one of America's fastest-growing businesses.

Meanwhile, for the sixth consecutive year, Inc. Magazine has named Bridge Partners one of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

With a growth rate of 129 percent, Bridge remains one of the fastest-growing consulting firms in the country. Albrecht views the firm's impressive growth rate as the natural result of building a people-focused and customer-driven business.

"Our goal is to build a legacy business—one in which we can all take pride. We have financial targets, of course, but those successes can be fleeting if we lose focus on our relationships and our reputation."

Customer value is everything for a professional services firm, and Albrecht is proud of the culture of excellence his team has built since founding Bridge Partners in 2007.

"Our formula isn't rocket science: we hire good people and treat them well. As a result, our consultants consistently go the extra mile to deliver value to our customers and build strong relationships along the way."

Rocket science or not, the Bridge Parters formula works.
