What are the key factors you consider when assessing growth opportunities?

The character of our client and how quickly they pay their bill.

Be true to your core business but always be tweaking the model, getting ready for market shifts and economic changes.

What keeps you up at night?

Getting too much work, not having enough work, wondering how much future work is bidding, hoping we will get paid on work completed.
