Inc. Magazine Ranks The Barbour Group, LLC Number 1,264 of the 5,000 Fastest Growing Private Companies

Inc. magazine once again ranked The Barbour Group, LLC, in the top 5,000 fastest‐growing private companies in the country. This year, The Barbour Group was ranked number 1,264, exceeding last year’s ranking of 2,334. This ranking is substantiated by The Barbour Group’s $251.9% increase in revenue over the past three years compared to the average company in the insurance industry during the same period.

“Karen Barbour and her team have demonstrated the courage and business backbone to benefit other small business contractors who have found in The Barbour Group the knowledge needed to compete,” said U.S. Representative Roscoe Bartlett, Ranking Member of the House Small Business Committee.

The Barbour Group, as an independent insurance agency focusing on small business construction bonding and commercial insurance, well serves the needs of this segment of the contracting industry.   As Roger Blunt, President, Essex Construction, LLC, says, “Karen Barbour has the insight of a contractor and the expertise of an experienced underwriter, which earned The Barbour Group a prominent place on our team.”
