Company grows by 123% and hires 366 employees
DALLAS, TX (November 20, 2014) -- Supreme Lending, a Dallas-based nationwide mortgage lender, earned the Southern Methodist University 2013 Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship’s Dallas 100™ Award, for the second year in a row. This year, the company placed ninth out of the 100 companies that made the list, up from a 16th place ranking last year.
The Dallas 100 Awards is an annual event that identifies and honors the 100 fastest growing privately held companies in the Dallas area. Co-founded by the Caruth Institute in 1990, the event is limited to independent, privately held companies headquartered in the Dallas Metroplex area. Dallas 100 Award winners are chosen on increased growth in sales, giving weight to percentage of growth and absolute dollar growth in the three years preceding the event. Supreme Lending grew 123% between 2010 and 2013. The company also added 366 jobs.
CEOs of companies winning the 2014 Dallas 100 Award were honored at a ceremony at the Omni Dallas Hotel in Dallas, Texas, on November 13, 2014.
Since its inception in 1999, Supreme Lending has focused on providing a positive, professional environment for customers and employees alike. Part of the company’s vision is based on the consistent process of seeking ways to create a more enjoyable work environment for its employees. Supreme has implemented numerous employee-focused measures, including an onsite workout facility with showers; a game room with pool table, ping pong table and video games; charity programs; contemporary office décor; and a casual dress program. At Supreme, employees are encouraged to get involved with company-sponsored charity efforts, and to take time off during the year in order to “recharge” and stay energized and positive in their jobs.
Supreme hosts numerous employee events throughout the year, including an annual Easter egg hunt for eggs with a total of $20,000 cash hidden inside, casino trips, snow cone days, cookouts, bingo nights, and an annual President’s Club trip for the top 50 originators and top 10 operations staff and their guests. The company also offers a strong benefits package and routinely engages software developers to create custom, user-friendly technologies that solve company-specific issues and create greater job satisfaction for users.
“Winning this award for the second year in a row is a great achievement for us,” said Everett. “One of the reasons we’ve achieved the growth that enabled us to win the Dallas 100 Award for a second consecutive year is that we’ve created a professional environment that’s one of the best places to work in the Dallas area. You simply can’t achieve company growth unless you truly care about your customers and employees. It’s an honor to be recognized with this prestigious designation. At Supreme, we believe that service is a day-in and day-out practice that starts with the way we treat our customers and employees.”
