Wright-Pierce ranked #369 in Top 500 by ENR

2013 was a year of growth and expansion for Wright-Pierce, a multidisciplinary engineering consulting firm serving clients throughout the northeast, improving the firm's ranking by 32 positions to #369 in the Engineering News Record (ENR) 2013 "Top 500" design firms. Engineering News Record, a trade publication and AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) industry observer, compiles and publishes annual rankings of the largest engineering and construction firms in the U.S. measured by gross revenues. Wright-Pierce has been ranked in the Top 500 for five consecutive years, and with a 16% revenue growth in 2013, the firm attained its highest ranking to date. Wright-Pierce has expanded its staff by 20% since early 2013 to nearly 200 people, adding depth and breadth to both technical and management teams. A Manchester, N.H. office was opened in June, and major expansions have recently been completed at the Andover, Mass. and Middletown, Conn. offices to accommodate projected growth. Bill Brown, president and CEO, attributes the 65 year old firm's growth and higher ENR ranking to "our strong commitment to working with our clients to identify and implement the best, most sustainable solutions for their infrastructure needs.
