Consulting Magazine - November 2017

Bridge Partners consultants come from some of the biggestnames in business.
They could work nearly anywhere
they want. They choose Bridge
because they want to collaborate
with their peers in more meaning-
ful ways and build stronger client
relationships. Bridge connects lo-
cal knowledge with national pres-
ence in a uniquely collaborative
business model. “We deliver re-
sults for companies from Fortune
50 to start-up, from technology
and manufacturing to healthcare
and transportation. We never
force a project into a cookie-cut-
ter methodology,” says Richard
Albrecht, President and CEO of
Bridge Partners. “Instead, with
our clients and each other across
teams, functions, and seniority
levels to deliver higher impact
and better value.”
That better value has translated
into Bridge Partners being rec-
ognized as one of Consulting's
Fastest growing Firms this year—
ranking No. 42 with 129 percent
growth rate over three years.

And Consulting magazine is
not the only one noticing. The
Puget Sound Business Journal
has again named Bridge Partners
one of Fastest-Growing Private
Companies in the state. Now in
its tenth year of business, the
firm maintained an impressive
growth rate of 156 percent. This
is the fourth-year Bridge Partners
has received this honor. “Our
continued growth is the direct
product of years of investment
and commitment to our people,”
says Greg Proulx, managing di-
rector for the Pacific Northwest
region. “We’ve tried to build our
business the right way and con-
sistently go above and beyond
for our customers.”
Albrecht echoes the sentiments
expressed by Proulx.

“We want to build a business
in which we can all take great
pride,” added Albrecht. “One
where we treat people with re-
spect and appreciate different
ways of thinking and working. It
sounds simple, but our people and
the marketplace have responded.”
Bridge Partners earns this recog-
nition on the heels of a summer of
awards. Seattle Business magazine
recently named Bridge Partners
a top-ten place to work in Wash-
ington, and Inc. Magazine named
Bridge Partners one of America’s
fastest-growing businesses.
Meanwhile, for the sixth con-
secutive year, Inc. Magazine has
named Bridge Partners one of the
fastest-growing private compa-
nies in America.
With a growth rate of 129 per-
cent, Bridge remains one of the
fastest-growing consulting firms
in the country. Albrecht views
the firm’s impressive growth rate
as the natural result of building
a people-focused and custom-
er-driven business.
“Our goal is to build a legacy
business—one in which we can
all take pride. We have finan-
cial targets, of course, but those
successes can be fleeting if we
lose focus on our relationships
and our reputation.”
Customer value is everything
for a professional services firm,
and Albrecht is proud of the cul-
ture of excellence his team has
built since founding Bridge Part-
ners in 2007.
“Our formula isn’t rocket sci-
ence: we hire good people and
treat them well. As a result, our
consultants consistently go the
extra mile to deliver value to our
customers and build strong rela-
tionships along the way.”
Rocket science or not, the
Bridge Parters formula works.
