Nelson Family of Companies Grows for Fifth Consecutive Year

Nelson Family of Companies, a provider of workforce management and staffing services, announced record revenues of $377 million for the calendar year-ended 2006. The company recorded revenue growth of 30% over the previous year’s revenue of $288 million. This is the fifth consecutive year of growth for the Nelson Family of Companies, from revenues of $132 million in 2002. The company attributes this growth to the success of its dual strategy to provide market leading staffing services in Northern California while simultaneously developing global workforce management software and services for companies with large contingent workforces.

“More clients have found our solutions and services meet their demands than ever before,” said Gary Nelson, Chairman and CEO, Nelson Family of Companies. “All business units have grown this year, with WorkforceLogic and Nelson Technology leading the way.”

The collective revenue of Nelson’s staffing business units was $116 million, a growth of 10% over 2005. WorkforceLogic, with 2006 year-end revenues of $260 million, grew by 40% over the previous year.

The company recently rebranded their staffing units as Nelson Technology, Nelson & Associates and Nelson Staffing. WorkforceLogic continues to extend its range of offerings, including supplier management services as well as expanding its global offering to the European Union in 2007.

“We are excited about the business opportunities. We believe we are uniquely positioned to establish our strong leadership position on both the staffing and workforce management side,” explains Steve McCarthy, COO. “All of our divisions offer new capabilities and new services to the marketplace in 2007.”
