Boston Business Journal Names French As "Pacesetter" For Second Consecutive Year

Boston, MA

The Boston Business Journal has compiled its 2010 list of local Pacesetters: The fastest growing private companies in Massachusetts, ranked by revenue growth.


At the "BBJ Pacesetters Breakfast" held at the Westin Copley Place, the list was annouced for the first time publicly. Of the well over 2,500 companies that were reviewed, W. L. French Excavating Corporation ranked #40 of the Top 50 Private Growing Firms, otherwise known by the BBJ as "Pacesetters."

William L. French, Sr. and Lisa French Kelley were present to accept the award on behalf of the company.

W. L. French Participates In "Taste Of The Nation"

Hynes Convention Center - Boston, MA

"Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation® is the nation’s premier culinary benefit dedicated to making sure no kid grows up hungry. Each spring and summer, the nation’s hottest chefs and mixologists donate their time, talent and passion at nearly 40 events across the United States and Canada, with one goal in mind: to raise the critical funds needed to end childhood hunger."

This year W. L. French Excavating Corporation was honored to contribute to this cause as a local sponser. "When you hear statistics like "1 in 4", which means one in four children in our country do not know where their next meal is coming from - it's staggering," said CEO Bill French, Sr. "Being a part of this event has certainly opened my eyes to the issue of hunger on a local level as well as a national level. This is a great event and an important one - the resturaunts and the chefs really made the night. I am glad to have our company play a small part in it."

W. L. French Excavating Corporation hopes to take part in this important event when it comes back to Boston next spring.
