Safety Services, provider of safety compliance and training materials, was founded in Yuma, Ariz., in 2005 by safety consultant Devon Dickinson. The first year of existence the company's 10 employees sold "Do-It-Yourself" weekly safety meetings to the construction industry.
Despite the crashing housing market and closure of many construction companies Dickinson's company was able to make $400,000 in year one.
Since then company's annual revenue has grown to more than $12.5 million. The growth facilitated the opening of a new corporate headquarters in Tempe, employing more than 150 people.
The company is still looking to hire more than 50 people at the Tempe location and is exploring a further expansion, facilitating the need for an additional 150 employees.
