NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. magazine today ranked GQR Global Markets NO. 424 on its annual Inc. 500 list (and subsequently the Inc. 5000), showcasing the most prestigious rankings of the nation's fastest-growing privately owned companies.

The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment— its independent small businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, LinkedIn, Oracle and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.

"We are honored to be recognized in the Inc. 500, and the Inc. 5000, rankings as one of America's fastest growing privately owned companies. We are proud to feature alongside many other prestigious organizations who are also dedicated to delivering market leading products and services to their clients and overall communities.

Steven Talbot, GQR's CEO, commenting on GQR's high-ranking achievements.

Hugo Sugden, Co-Founder and Chairman of GQR Global Markets comments further on this recognition: "It is with great pride that we see GQR recognized by the Inc.500, surrounded by household brand names, industry leaders, innovators, and visionaries. I am profoundly grateful to all of whom have contributed to our success at GQR. This award is a testament to our hard work over the last four years in the US and seven years internationally, but also a signifier of things to come as we continue to innovate, grow and challenge ourselves for the years to come." 

The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com, along with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 23) is the most competitive crop in the history of the list.

GQR also holds the title as a top 7 Human Capital services provider within the list, and is the #1 Fastest Growing Permanent Recruitment Services provider in the Human Capital industry among the Inc. 5000.

In addition to being recognized for exceptional growth overall and within the Human Capital services industry, GQR boasts the youngest Founding Team, Chairman, and CEO, along with the youngest management team on the list.

"The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts," says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That's one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails."
