WELCOME TO THE CLUB As we scout the Gulf Coast from Tampa to Naples for companies to include in the Gulf Coast 500 each year, we always find new businesses we haven’t heard of before. But this year, we welcomed more than usual — 128 companies are new to our list for 2014. You can spot them by the N/A in the second column of the list. It’s debatable whether that’s a good sign for business in the region or whether it just means we’re having more luck persuading companies to share their revenue data. But it does mean that this year’s list likely has many companies you haven’t heard of before, either, which is valuable information. On the following pages, you’ll see 500 companies headquartered on the Gulf Coast, ranked by their 2013 revenues. Each line contains a snapshot of each firm, including its 2012 revenues, previous year’s rank, number of employees, date founded, executive’s name and title and line of business. We set a floor of $3 million in revenue to make the list. The revenues listed are for the most part self-reported by the companies. We ask for gross revenues, which do not

include pass-through revenues for industries such as real estate, advertising agencies or professional employer organizations. At the back of the book, we’ve sorted the information by industry and alphabetically, and we’ve picked out the largest employers, as well as the fastest growing and biggest decliners from last year. To learn more about the companies on the list, we’ve also included fun facts scattered throughout, as well as stories of a few firm’s strategies, challenges and successes. All this takes about seven months and countless calls by our researchers, Sean Roth and Dede Bacro. But it’s the only list of its kind in the region and even the state — it provides the most comprehensive listing of local companies in the area. Because of that, the list is great for more than just interesting reading. It can be invaluable for leads, networking and knowing the top players in the region. That’s why we also make it available in digital format in Excel spreadsheets that you can download and use how you wish. Visit our website to view purchase options at BusinessObserverFL.

Cott remains focused on its philosophy of the 4 C’s: customers, cost, capital expenditures and cash, according to Chief Financial Officer Jay Wells.

DIVERSIFYING DRINKS C “”

Amidst a declining soft drink market, Tampa beverage company Cott is diversifying to stay at the top of the private-label market. arbonated soft drinks are declining 3% to 5% in North America. That’s why private-label beverage maker Cott Corp. is looking to diversify. Currently, a third of Cott’s business is from carbonated soft drinks. Another quarter of business is from juices, with demand relatively flat. So the company is scouting for acquisitions to build up its remaining divisions in the faster growing segments of flavored water, sports drinks and energy drinks, according to Cott Chief Financial Officer, Jay Wells. That category is growing between 0% to 1% in volume and 2% to 3% in pricing. As the leading private-label beverage company for soft drinks, juices, and energy drinks, Cott has felt the pressure from national brands offering extended promotions. In 2013, revenues were down 7% to $2.09 billion, according to company filings (symbol:COT). The company also owns RC Cola outside of North America. It distributes concentrate to more than 50 countries and works with bottlers to package and sell the RC Cola brand worldwide. “Consumer trends are changing dramatically nowadays,”

Wells says. Concerns about sweeteners in diet drinks or obesity from regular soft drinks are taking a toll on sales. The toughest part about working for a beverage company is “understanding consumer demand and where you’re going,” Wells says. One of Cott’s strategies to survive the hit is through acquisitions, Wells says. The company aims to acquire up to five businesses with $100 million to $200 million in revenue in the next three years to broaden its portfolio. Wells believes Cott’s biggest competition in these acquisitions is private equity firms “just looking for a good investment,” he says. At the end of May, Cott completed the acquisition of United Kingdom-based Aimia Foods, in an effort to expand into food service. Aimia was the perfect fit for Cott’s diversification efforts, Wells says, with 85% of its $110 million in annual revenue coming from hot beverages such as hot chocolate and coffee, which are new products for Cott. Private label sales currently make up 83% of Cott’s portfolio, with more than 500 retailers worldwide. The company’s larg-

est customer is Wal-Mart, as the beverage manufacturer for the Great Value brand. “We own the formulas, they own the brand,” Wells says. However, Wells says that Cott wants to shift its focus from bigbox retailers and increase its business in contract manufacturing or co-packing for major brands. In the next three years, Cott is looking to add 50 million to 80 million cases to its North American manufacturing channel, according to Wells. “Shipping beverages is expensive,” he says. With Cott’s manufacturing footprint, spread through plants in the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada and Mexico, it’s much easier to help a brand make an impact on a national basis. — Traci McMillan Beach

BUSINESS OBSERVER

ental practice management is a hot industry, a trend perfectly illustrated at Dental Care Alliance. Annual revenues at the Lakewood Ranch-based firm, which has affiliations and partnerships with more than 150 dental practices in eight states, jumped 71.8% in 2013, from $145.56 million to $250 million. The company, which handles a variety of tasks for a dental office, is the seventh-largest privately held business in SarasotaBradenton. Dental Care Alliance is also the largest dental practice management firm in the region — but it’s not the only one growing fast. Palmetto-based Dynamic Dental Partners Group, with 37 locations across Florida, Arizona and Virginia, had $19.8 million in revenues in 2013, up 1,000% over 2012. Sarasota-based Sebring Software is also on a growth surge. Founded in 2012, Sebring now has more than 35 practices under management. It had $9.21 million in 2013 revenues. “Much to the chagrin of the old-school dentist, the market is changing,” says Dental Care

co-CEO and COO Mitchell Olan. “Most dentists are good clinicians, but are not strong business people.” The industry-wide success has attracted investors from multiple corners. Sebring, for example, was launched with $66 million in Wall Street investment capital. Detroit-based private equity firm Huron Capital Partners invested in Dynamic Dental last year and Charlottesville, Va.-based middle market private equity firm Quad-C invested in Dental Care Alliance in May 2012. Quad-C is now a majority owner of Dental Care. “(The capital) allowed us to pursue and execute some larger deals,” says Olan. “We won’t grow just for growth’s sake. It has to make sense. But now we have the wherewithal to do it.” Dental Care Alliance made its biggest deal with Quad-C funds in early 2013, when it acquired Miami-based Towncare Dental Partners. The deal added 30 practices to DCA’s portfolio, including Fort Myers and Naples locations. Sarasota dentist Dr. Steven Matzkin founded Dental Care

“”

We won’t grow just for growth’s sake.

Mitchell Olan | Dental Care Alliance Alliance in 1991. Olan, not a dentist, joined the firm in 1994, followed a few years later by David Nichols, now co-CEO and CFO. The firm went public once, in the late 1990s, but went private again after four years. Olan envisions a future of measured growth in acquiring practices, with a corporate employee base to support the strategy. The firm has about 100 employees in its 20,000-squarefoot headquarters. Planning for a third building, around 6,000 square feet, is underway. The employees, says Olan, even more than private equity money, will drive the growth because they built DCA’s successful industry image. “You are only as good as your reputation,” says Olan. “We work hard every day to enhance that.” — Mark Gordon

Josh Reel, president and CEO of T3 Communications, says the company’s acquisition of ITVantage in 2011 positioned it to benefit as the economy rebounds.

MOVING TO THE CLOUD The telecom business is changing rapidly as companies move data and voice to the Internet ‘cloud.’ T3 Communications is helping its business customers do that.

hom do you trust with business communications? At one time it likely was the phone company, but that’s before faster Internet changed the way we communicate. Josh Reel, president and CEO of T3 Communications in Fort Myers, knows whom companies trust today: “It’s your IT guy rather than your telecom guy,” he says. Now, even desktop phone handsets are plugged into the Internet on what’s called voice over Internet protocol, or VOIP. And all data is now moving onto remote “cloud” servers so customers don’t need costly equipment on site. Companies such as T3 have had to adapt to the changing dynamics of communications. That’s why T3 acquired ITVantage in 2011, a firm that manages corporate information technology departments. “Your phone is an IP device,” Reel says. “We’re trying to be a cloud-based provider.” Still, many businesses prefer to know that their communications provider is a local firm, and they want to know exactly where their

data is being stored. T3 provides technology services to more than 1,000 locations, principally in Lee and Collier counties, and serves these business customers with three data centers. “I can still have my account manager I can meet with,” Reel says. As the economy recovers, T3 is following its customers as they grow to other areas of the state. “We’re starting to expand in Sarasota, Tampa and Orlando,” says Reel. “For example, we have a large bank locally that’s expanding into that area, and we want to follow them up there.” Formed as a competitive localexchange company after the tech bust in the early 2000s, T3 started as a reseller of phone and data it bought from larger telecom companies. Its board includes Fort Myers Mayor Randy Henderson and Steve Jones, a Naples-based investor in startups who was instrumental in the growth of another Fort Myers company, cancer-testing lab NeoGenomics. T3 posted revenues of $8 million in 2013, a 14% increase over 2012. On average, the company charges about $100 per desktop

“”

We’re starting to expand in Sarasota, Tampa and Orlando.

Josh Reel | T3 Communications per month for a bundle of services that includes information technology and telecommunication services. The company has 33 employees, up from 19 just two years ago. Reel estimates that its core services will grow 50% this year and it plans to open a new data center near Interstate 75 and Daniels Parkway in Fort Myers. T3 will likely grow in Sarasota, Tampa and Orlando with acquisitions of other well-established firms in those areas. Combining telecom and information technology staffs has helped the company grow in its existing markets. “We proved the concept,” Reel says. — Jean Gruss BusinessObserverFL.com ■ AUGUST 2014

Travelworld advertises through email blasts to previous customers, and tradeshows and newspaper inserts to new customers. “The best advice is to keep advertising, keep promoting, even when times get tough,” president DON ONEAL says.

TRAVEL EXPERTS

Tampa-based Travelworld, up 11.7% to $13.4 million, has survived despite people using online tools to book travel. President Don Oneal says the Internet doesn’t scare him.

espite what many assume, websites like Orbitz, TripAdvisor and Priceline don’t scare all travel agencies. In fact, Tampa-based Travelworld President Don Oneal says booking travel on the Internet has helped his business. “Our best customers are those that booked online and had a bad experience,” Oneal says. The websites don’t have personalized

experts dealing with your travel needs, which is Travelworld’s specialty, he adds. “There’s no secret deal on the Internet. Your time is worth money.” Whatever the company’s secret to success, it seems to be working. Travelworld’s revenues were up 11.7% to $13.4 million in 2013, making it No. 308 on the Gulf Coast 500. According to Oneal, it is the largest independent travel com-

pany in Central Florida. In 2014, the company expects to bring in $20 million, partially due to a new acquisition. Over the last 34 years, the agency has grown from two employees to 20, with four locations in the Tampa area. The travel management firm is split evenly between corporate travel services and vacation planning. Corporate clients include Rooms To Go worldwide, military contractors and schools. The company is also popular with law firms, due to its specialized reporting system that links travel spend to cases, Oneal says. Corporate clients oftentimes feed into vacation clients, because people enjoy the level of personalized service, he adds. “Hurricanes are good for our business,” he says. “Customers realize how valuable we are because we don’t leave them stranded, we take care of them.” Similar to big agencies such as American Express or AAA, Travelworld offers 24-hour service worldwide. Despite using a thirdparty vendor, that all-day service is free because “we use it as a way to generate more business,” Oneal says. However, Oneal believes the main difference that has allowed his company to survive is that all employees have a minimum of 25 years’ experience in booking travel. Of the 20 employees, 14 were former owners of travel agencies. The focus on experienced agents can make it difficult to hire, Oneal admits. Travelworld acquired a number of employees when agencies were closing, allowing the company to cover a number of niches. “The trend in the business is that companies believe they have to be a niche player,” Oneal says. “Instead of being a niche player, Travelworld has all the niches under one roof.” The agency covers more than 75 specialties, ranging from European rail to culinary tours. That’s why the company completed an acquisition of another Gulf Coast 500 travel company, Bowen Travel Services (No. 339), which includes the Tampa Bay Ski Club, at the end of June. Oneal says the goal is to keep clients with the same agents, while providing additional services. “We’re not raising prices or adding fees,” he says. “It’s like you used to shop at the corner Publix and now you’ve got a big Publix.” — Traci McMillan Beach

TED TODD, the CEO of Ted Todd Insurance, pays for exercise and nutrition classes for employees. The American Heart Association recognized his company as a fit-friendly workplace.

PREMIUM GROWTH W “” Ted Todd started selling insurance from a booth in the mall. Last year, his company’s seven offices wrote $70 million in premiums. hen Ted Todd joined Allstate Insurance in 1985, he worked out of a booth at the Sears store inside Edison Mall in Fort Myers, where he grew his book of business to 2,100 accounts. Todd’s secret weapon: a pager. Before the days of cell phones, the pager allowed customers to reach Todd any time. Fortunately for him, none of his competitors were as technologically savvy. Today, the affable Todd still challenges himself and his team on how customers can best reach him even as he’s grown his company, Ted Todd Insurance, into one of the largest Allstate Insurance agencies in the nation. The Bonita Springs-based company has seven offices on the east and west coasts of Florida. “We went from a small family business to 62 people,” Todd says. “There is a certain amount of growing pain that goes with that.” Todd has spent the last several years integrating acquisitions of other Allstate offices. “The operations side of it, we’ve got that figured out,” he says. To manage growth, Todd hired specialists in areas such as human relations, technology and accounting instead of asking talented insurance agents to handle those tasks. “We quite

often made the mistake of taking good insurance people and had them do things they weren’t good at,” he says. “Today, we’ve brought very talented people in those functions.” Todd has also focused on employee retention with modern offices fostering a pleasant work environment, providing healthy snacks, paying for exercise classes and a nutritionist. Todd, 59, sets the tone by working out and running regularly. The American Heart Association recently named his company a “fit friendly” worksite, unusual in the desk-bound insurance industry. Now, Todd says growing the business and communicating with customers will come with expansion online. “We’re going to spend a lot of time to see what other industries are doing on the Web,” he says. “The next thing for us is to get a better Web presence. That’s where it’s all coming from in the future.” For example, the company’s website, ttiquotes.com, lets users shop for homeowners insurance with ease. “We’re focused on user experience,” Todd says. What’s more, the Web is as important for branding as the Yellow Pages used to be when Todd began working in the industry. Todd, who sells insurance from

The next thing for us is to get a better Web presence. Ted Todd | Ted Todd Insurance Allstate and other carriers, wrote about $70 million in premiums last year. The company’s revenues rose nearly 5% last year to $8.17 million. Still, Todd is mindful that customers still want that human interaction and the availability to visit with an agent at an office. He says he learned this while integrating six agencies he acquired in 2011, centralizing certain functions such as customer-service inquiries at its Bonita Springs headquarters. “Customers asked why their calls were being answered in Bonita Springs,” he says. Now, Todd says customers are connected with agents in their neighborhood office. “Every office needs to stand on its own,” says Todd, whose offices stretch from Bonita Springs to Sarasota and on the east coast from Delray to Viera. “We’ve staffed up every office quite well,” he says. — Jean Gruss

JASON BENNETT founded Bennett Contracting in 2000. He runs the business with his wife, ALISA BENNETT.

MORE THAN SURVIVAL

The recession crushed many subcontracting firms. A husband-wife duo is behind one of the exceptions.

“”

The highs have been really high. And the lows are really low. Alisa Bennett | Bennett Contracting

BUSINESS OBSERVER

ason Bennett was in his late 20s and running day-to-day operations of a construction firm when he received some life-altering advice. The time to figure everything out is in your 20s, he was told. By 30, it’s time to focus on one goal. The advice motivated Bennett. A year later, in 2000, Bennett founded his own firm, Bennett Contracting. Initially just Bennett and his father, Jake Bennett, ran the Bradentonbased firm that handles site preparation, demolition, underground utilities and related work. Bennett started with his pickup truck and $3,000 in savings. That company is now something of an anomaly. It’s a contracting and subcontracting business that grew rapidly in the early 2000s boom, fell fast in the bust and actually survived the ride. The firm is even in a growth position again. Revenues increased 17.9% in 2013, from $2.8 million in 2012 to $3.3 million. The firm, with around 20 employees, projects at least $4 million in 2014 sales. Many small subcontractors closed for good or merged with others in the recession. Bigger firms chased work anywhere it was available, which added to the pressure. “The highs have been really high,” says Alisa Bennett, who runs the company with her husband, Jason. “And the lows are really low.” To wit: The firm surpassed $5 million in sales and 20 employees by 2006. It did work for a string of developments in downtown Sarasota, including a few hotels and luxury condo projects. Two years later that work was gone, and nothing replaced it. The firm laid off three or four employees two times over the next three years. The Bennetts also created an “ugly list” for survival. It was a document of everything that could be cut, from layoffs to eliminating Sam’s Club memberships. “It was all about survival,” says Alisa Bennett. “We had to make sure we kept the company going.” The business, which primarily works for general contracting firms, is now growing in sales and physical space. Work could begin later this year on a 6,000-square-foot office and warehouse space behind the firm’s facility. Recent and current projects include work at Sarasota High School, Patriot Plaza at Sarasota National Cemetery and improvements to the parking and facilities at Siesta Beach. To Jason Bennett, the survival version of the firm is a reward for not quitting when things looked bleak. Yet those bad times aren’t too far from memory. “Things are going really well now,” says Bennett. “It almost makes
