BOSTON, MA – March 17, 2008 The Boston Business Journal named AgencyPort Insurance Services, Inc. as one of the region’s fastest-growing private companies in its second annual Pacesetters awards. The honor recognizes the company's skill in managing a rapidly growing company, showing robust revenues and creating business strategies that led to success in a competitive business environment.

AgencyPort made the Pacesetters list based on information gathered and assessed by the Boston Business Journal that detailed the company’s performance from 2004 to 2007.

“It’s an honor to be included on the Pacesetters List,” said Gary Brach, Chief Executive Officer of AgencyPort. “Making the list validates our hard work and commitment to building a leading company in the New England community.”

”We are very excited to kick off the Pacesetters this year,” said George Donnelly, editor of the Boston Business Journal. “This award acknowledges those private companies that skillfully navigate a competitive national and international marketplace and are growing quickly to be leaders in their field.”

“Pacesetters was created because it’s important to raise the profiles of rapidly growing companies,” said Boston Business Journal Publisher Michael Olivieri. “This will help give guidance to the business community as a whole as to what makes a company successful and who they should be seeking out as potential partners.”

These top-rated companies will be honored at the Boston Business Journal’s Pacesetters Awards breakfast on April 18 ^th at the Sheraton Boston hotel. The 60 companies will be counted down and the No. 1 fastest-growing private company in the region will be revealed. Executives from these companies will also share their ideas on what made them successful and what they hope to achieve going forward.
