BRUNSWICK
SaviLinx, a contact center specializing in business process outsourcing and technical support services, has been chosen for the Growth Master Award from the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce.
The award was presented to SaviLinx CEO Heather Blease at the National Small Business Federal Contracting Summit in Washington, D.C. The USWCC is a leading advocate for women on economic and leadership issues.
The Growth Master Award is awarded to contractors that have achieved significant growth in the government sector over the past three years.
SaviLinx offers a blend of business services via its brick-and-mortar center in Brunswick, Maine and its work-from-home remote agents in Mississippi. Government contracts include support for users of a federal financing program and for a federal insurance program.
The company has grown from its launch in 2013 to more than $11 million in revenues in 2016. SaviLinx recently was certified as a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) by the U.S. Small Business Administration, which enables SaviLinx to compete for additional federal contracting opportunities.
“Heather Blease, founder and CEO of SaviLinx, was selected for the 2017 U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce federal supplier Growth Master award in recognition of her exemplary leadership which quickly propelled the firm’s revenues from zero to more than $11 million in less than three years,” said Margot Dorfman, CEO of the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce. “The success of SaviLinx derives from Blease’s leadership as she has expertly leveraged innovation and flexibility while exploiting emerging government market opportunities to drive business growth and an outstanding company workforce.”
“I am honored to receive the Growth Master Award from the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce, and accept it on behalf of the entire SaviLinx team,” said Blease. “A core element of our business plan is supporting federal and state contracts that enable us to grow soundly and provide good paying jobs for our team.”
