HANAHAN, S.C., Oct. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MedTrust Medical Transport, a MedTrust Holdings company and a premier provider of ambulance services in the Lowcountry and Pee Dee regions, has been named "The Fastest Growing Company in South Carolina." The award is presented by The Capital Corporation, a middle market investment banking firm, as part of its "Top 25 Fastest Growing Companies" program for South Carolina.

This achievement puts MedTrust in an elite group of South Carolina companies. The "Top 25 Fastest Growing Companies" award recognizes the achievements of top-performing private and publicly-owned companies that have contributed to South Carolina's economy through exceptional increases in revenues and employment.

During the period of 2015-2017, MedTrust registered growth of 294 percent, ranking it first in the TOP 25 for 2018.

"We are extremely honored to be recognized as 2018's fastest growing company in South Carolina," said Josh Watts, CEO and Co-Founder of MedTrust. "This award would not have been possible without the effort and hard work of our EMS professionals and staff, hospital partners, equipment and vehicle suppliers. Our MedTrust team remained focused every day on our vision of 'Improving Patient Outcomes through Excellence in Mobile Healthcare' resulting in our growth here in South Carolina."

MedTrust received the award at a luncheon held in Columbia, SC, earlier this month. Now in its 17th year, the competition was founded to honor the state's most dynamic businesses and their contributions to South Carolina's economic vitality. Companies were judged for the annual periods from 2015 to 2017, using a weighted calculation based on year-over-year growth in revenue and employee headcount.

The SC TOP 25 is presented by The Capital Corporation, and co-sponsored by Integrated Media Publishing (publisher of Greenville Business Magazine, Columbia Business Monthly and Charleston Business Magazine), BDO USALLP, PNC Bank, Keenan Suggs | HUB, and Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP.
