Many thanks to all our fine people who made this award possible.  Bludworth Marine made the INC 5000 list two years running.  We made #716 in 2008 and #702 in 2009.

 The 2009 award is really special because in September of 2008, we were hit by Hurricane Ike which destroyed over 50% of our productive capacity.  We lost nearly all of the final three months of production.  We were able to regroup in a couple of areas where we were just starting up new production facilities and were able to use them to survive.
