Nurse Next Door Named One of Canada's Most Successful Growth Companies by Canadian Business and PROFIT

Private Duty Home Care Company Ranked One of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies With Five-Year Revenue Growth of 193%

VANCOUVER, BC - (Marketwired - September 29, 2016) - Canadian Business and PROFIT today ranked Nurse Next Door No. 282 on the 28thannual PROFIT 500, the definitive ranking of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies. Nurse Next Door was also ranked No. 13 in the Consumer Services category, and ranked No. 28 in the Vancouver region. Published in the October issue of Canadian Business and at PROFITguide.com, the PROFIT 500 ranks Canadian businesses by their five-year revenue growth.

"Companies become a part of the PROFIT 500 through innovative thinking, smart strategy and sheer grit," says James Cowan, Editor-in-chief of PROFIT and Canadian Business. "These firms demonstrate what Canadian entrepreneurs can achieve, both at home and across the globe."

Nurse Next Door was founded in 2001 in Vancouver, B.C., by Co-Founders John DeHart and Ken Sim. In 2013, DeHart and Sim recognized a turning point in their business; they needed to grow faster and better, or would get left behind. In 2014, DeHart and Sim transitioned leadership over to Cathy Thorpe, Nurse Next Door's President and CEO. Since joining, Thorpe has doubled the business, grown operational locations by 30 per cent across North America and has profiled Nurse Next Door as one of Canada's most successful growth companies.

"We are thrilled to have made the 2016 PROFIT 500 and to be recognized for our accelerated revenue growth," says Thorpe. "This achievement reflects the success of our disruptive leadership and our commitment to driving strong results, to developing people across our system and to enriching our customers' experience."

Thorpe will speak at the PROFIT 500 CEO Summit on October 7, 2016 in Toronto, Canada. This invitation-only event will welcome over 300 entrepreneurs and executives to learn from their peers and prominent business leaders. Thorpe will add a bold element to this year's event by speaking to her succession at Nurse Next Door and why it worked, how she drives results and the future of Nurse Next Door's leadership.
