Austin, TX – August 24, 2010 – UCS, an Austin-based commercial and multi-family cleaning and reconstruction company, was named today to Inc. Magazine's 2010 500|5000 list. This annual list is an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy – America's independent-minded entrepreneurs.
With an inaugural ranking of 2100 out of the 5000 companies named, along side such nationally recognized brands as music website Pandora, convenience store chain 7-Eleven, and Radio Flyer, maker of the iconic children's red wagon, UCS President Benjamin H. Wells attributes the recognition and growth of the company to a shared company philosophy of providing uncompromising customer service and a careful approach to growth in terms of branch locations and lines of service offered. "We have to be cognizant of the need to provide the very best quality of service to all customers, and if we spread ourselves too thin, or don't have the right people and procedures in place, that cannot be accomplished."
UCS primarily focuses on floor cleaning and maid service for multi-family and single family rental units, along with a commercial janitorial division and complete fire and flood restoration services for residential as well as commercial properties. The company employs approximately 75 employees.
The company also has a solid reputation for giving back to the communities which it serves. Company initiatives include involvement in many charity functions and community activities sponsored by local and state Apartment Associations, and affiliate involvement in many professional trade associations including NAA (National Apartment Association), NARPM® (National Association of Residential Property Managers), BOMA (Building Owners and Manager's Association), and RRHATX (Rural Rental Housing Association of Texas).
UCS was named in 2009 to the Austin Business Journal's Fast 50 list of fastest-growing privately held companies in Central Texas. This Inc. Magazine recognition is the first national award for the company, headquartered in Austin, Texas with branch offices serving the San Antonio, Texas and Temple/Killeen, Texas markets.
