Mayor Swails recognizes Direct Source Imports for singular achievement

MOUNT PLEASANT, SC (Dec. 15, 2009) – Mount Pleasant Mayor Billy Swails recently congratulated Direct Source Imports, a Mount Pleasant company, for their recent significant professional achievement. “On behalf of the Town of Mount Pleasant, I want to extend my congratulations and commendations to Direct Source Imports LLC for being named the 2009 Fastest Growing Company by the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce as noted in the Charleston Business Journal,” said Mayor Swails. “It was indeed exciting to read of the successes being attained by one of our local firms here in Mount Pleasant. Our Town strives to support our local businesses and takes great pride in their accomplishments. We wanted to relay our continued interest and support of your noteworthy successes in the competitive environment and less than robust economy that exists today.”

The Capital Corporation and the SC Chamber of Commerce recognized Direct Source Imports, an international wood purveyor company, as South Carolina’s fastest growing company in 2009. The South Carolina’s Fastest Growing Companies 2009 competition honored 25 companies throughout the state that displayed exceptional performance in both revenue and employment growth. Direct Source Imports came in at number one with a revenue growth rate of 225 percent in 2008.

Chris Findlay, president of Direct Source Imports, attributes the company’s success to a committed staff and creative sales and service tactics. “Our success stems from a dedicated team and our ability to react to tough economic pressures by expanding our services into new and larger market segments,” says Findlay. “We now offer our products and services worldwide which has helped us balance the downfall of local and US markets.”
