Entrepreneur Magazine Ranks Group Mobile as one of the Hot 100 Fast-Growth
Businesses in the U.S.

PHOENIX, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Group Mobile, an Internet Reseller of
rugged, mobile computers, was recently recognized as one of the nation's Hot
100 fast-growth businesses. Group Mobile's rapid sales growth and positive job
creation, among other criteria, enabled the new company to achieve a rank of
67 on the prestigious Entrepreneur magazine Hot 100 list. The Company was
chosen from a database of nearly 21 million companies which were reviewed by
research provider CentrisPoint and Entrepreneur magazine. Of the nearly
21 million companies on the preliminary list, only 0.3% made the initial cut,
and just a fraction of those made it to the Hot 100.
Group Mobile is an online reseller of rugged computers for mobile
workforces and field workers. What makes Group Mobile unique is that they just
focus on ruggedized computers and they offer all the leading brands of rugged
mobile computers such as Panasonic Toughbooks, General Dynamics Itronix
computers, Xplore Technologies, plus many more. "Group Mobile has been
fortunate in that we have grown at an incredible rate since our start in 2003
and as a result have made the recent Inc. 500 list
(http://www.groupmobile.com/Inc500_PressRelease.asp), CRN 100
(http://www.groupmobile.com/CRN100PressRelease.asp) list and now the
Entrepreneur Hot 100 list." Richard Lawson, President of Group Mobile
attributes his success to "hiring great people, satisfying all customers, and
maintaining excellent vendor relationships."
"This year's Hot 100 listing reveals the shining stars continuing to drive
the nation's economy forward," says Karen Axelton, executive editor of
Entrepreneur. "These companies, and the entrepreneurs who built them, are
making a major impact on the economy with their revenue and the new jobs they
create as a result of their growth. The innovation, persistence and passion
they demonstrate in industries across the board are vital to the nation's
success as a whole."
Entrepreneur magazine's 14th consecutive ranking of America's top
fast-growth companies revealed businesses with total combined revenue of
$4.6 billion in 2007. The Hot 100 are expected to employ more than 15,000
individuals by 2009, an increase from a total of 517 employees on their first
day of business.
