"During a period of such economic stagnation, we're extremely happy to win this recognition for the 2nd year in a row," said Al Moore, Marathon's President. "Our continuing growth comes from the high quality work our consultants deliver to our clients on an everyday basis. Most of our growth is repeat business, which says quite a lot. That's why we made the list again this year," he continued.

"Marathon focuses on the delivery of measurable business value. Regardless of the project, we always want the client to look back on our work and be able to identify and, in most cases, measure Marathon's positive impact. When that happens, we've lived up to our promise," Moore stated.
