Canada’s Top Growing Companies ranks Canadian companies on three-year revenue growth. 505-Junk earned its spot with three-year growth of 97%.
505-Junk’s co-founder and CEO, Barry Hartman, says: “I am thrilled about our team’s recognition for the remarkable growth we’ve achieved in the past few years. Growth lies at the heart of 505-Junk’s core values, and we define it as our commitment to the advancement of our people, clients, and resources. I am very appreciative of our team’s dedication and our clients’ unwavering loyalty.”
It’s not often that you would anticipate a junk removal business to emerge as one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies, but our team has demonstrated that we can excel not only within our industry but also on the national stage. As we have secured significant contracts and are introducing new services in 2024, we are projecting a growth rate of over 50% for the coming year alone.”
