Custom Communications Top Woman-Owned Business
In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations' leading multicultural internet site, recently named Custom Communications as one of the top woman-owned businesses in Connecticut.
The ranking is within the sixth annual listing of the Connecticut's top
woman-owned businesses. Ranging in revenue size from $1M to over $120M, the companies listed represent Connecticut's top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a woman-owned business is small or insignificant. Members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with woman-owned companies.
The Impact of Woman Owned Business
Major corporations wishing to increase market share realize it is no longer just "the right thing" to do business with diversity owned companies. Affected by recent economic and demographic trends and changes, corporations throughout the country have recognized that buying products and services from diversity owned companies positively impacts their business. Diversity-owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.
"Diversity businesses and consumers are a growing force in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with," said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company that built DiversityBusiness.com. "It's no longer only about the Fortune 1000. This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs, products and services, and generates wealth for their communities. These are the new leaders in American business."
"Custom Communications' main goal is to offer high-quality human resource solutions to our clients," commented Kellie Grubbs-Riccelli, President of Custom Communications. "The fact that we are a woman-owned company is certainly a source of pride, but we've always felt that if we put out a good product, gender should not matter."
The Top Woman List
This is a classification that represents the top woman-owned businesses in Connecticut, in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services. Large organizational buyers throughout the country that do business with multicultural and women-owned businesses use the list. This list is produced annually by DiversityBusiness.com, the nation's leading multicultural B2B Internet portal that links large organizational buyers to multicultural product and service suppliers.
The winning companies will be honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com's 6th Annual Multicultural Business Conference, taking place March 29 - March 31, 2006 at the MGM Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"It is a tremendous honor to be recognized by DiversityBusiness.com as one of the top woman-owned businesses in Connecticut," remarked Kellie Grubbs-Ricielli, President of Custom Communications. "We are fully committed to our clients in the human resources industry and hope this award inspires other diversity-owned businesses to achieve success."
"The listed companies are the heroes of woman-owned business in America," said Kenton Clarke. "While Fortune magazine lists the best companies for women and minorities to work for, we list the top woman owned businesses. These are the people that have conquered the hurdles and made the sacrifices, building and strengthening their communities, providing jobs and helping to keep the fabric of the U.S. economy together."
