“We are thrilled to be included on this prestigious list of growing companies,” said Tim Leman, Chairman and CEO of Gibson. “It’s rare for an 82 year-old company to experience an honor like this. Our innovative approach to addressing clients’ risk solidifies our ability to achieve our growth goals and attract highly talented people to our employee-owned company.”

The 2015 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com, is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 490%. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue is $205 billion, generating 647,000 jobs over the past three years.

"The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don’t achieve that kind of success by accident."

Gibson has experienced revenue growth of 50% over the last 3 years; adding 19 jobs in that same timeframe. They have ambitious growth goals and plans to hire more talent.

Being named to the Inc. 5000 list is the latest accolade for Gibson, who was recently named one of 20 Companies To Watch in Indiana 2015, Best Places To Work in Indiana 2015 for the 3rd consecutive year, and Principal Financial Group’s 2014 10 Best For Employee Financial Security.
