V3 achieves Zweig White Hot Firm Hall of Fame status after fifth Hot Firm List appearance

V3 has been inducted into the newly created Zweig White Hot Firm Hall of Fame. The company earned the status just prior to being honored as one of the fastest-growing A/E/P and environmental consulting firms for the fifth time.

For the past seven years, The Zweig Letter Hot Firm List has identified the nation's most vibrantly growing firms based on gross revenue dollar and percentage growth, as verified by audited financial statements. The list is limited to firms based in the U.S. that derive the majority of their revenues from the practice of architecture, engineering, planning, environmental consulting or allied disciplines. V3 earned its Hall of Fame stature for making the Hot Firm List in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. The company has continued its track record, making the list again in 2007 and earning the recognition for five of the seven years the competition has been held.

As a fifth time member of the Zweig Hot Firm list, V3 is honored by, and proud of, this accomplishment,said V3 CEO Rob Petroelje. The fact that V3 continues to grow during a time of fluctuating public and private sector markets is most gratifying and truly reflects the strength of our corporate philosophy.

The key, said Petroelje, is based in the idea that the firm's values and culture will have a far-greater influence on V3's long-term success than any other factor. That foundational belief has shaped V3's success with clients and is affirmed by our high level of continuing customer relationships and repeat selection to the Hot Firm List, he said.
