News from Our Executive Vice President
Before the new year gets off to a running start, all of us at RMPI would like to wish our readers a happy and successful new year. RMPI had a lot to be thankful for in 2005 as we experienced almost 100% growth in revenue! Our goal for 2006 is to meet, or exceed, this growth record.
Our Contractor_Funding program has been well-received by the construction industry; and, our Resource Monitoring_Services® program has helped RMPI and its clients achieve stellar results.
Our traditional Accounts_Receivable Financing program also showed substantial growth in 2005. We were successful in our bid for a loan portfolio which was sold by a community bank (they had been purchased by a much larger regional bank) that no longer wanted to provide A/R financing Continuing our efforts in this arena, we have already recognized and targeted a few portfolios which are currently for sale.
We recognize that we are in a very competitive marketplace, and it is because of this that we constantly test our practices and procedures. We have learned, as many of our peers have, that by listening to our potential clients’ needs and concerns, we can assist them in reaching their goals, and at the same time ensure our profitability and growth.
I wish all of you a successful, happy, and healthy new year!

Get Ready To Take Advantage of Change
What's most striking about Farmer
& Irwin is how a company that turns 50 in October has been so adaptable to
change. The contractor even viewed Hurricane Wilma last October as a good
reason to remodel its office space and make other improvements. That readiness
to embrace change has served Farmer & Irwin well, and it sets an example
for other contractors to follow.
When Contractor Magazine select's
their Mechanical Contractor of the Year, they are not necessarily looking for
the biggest company in the industry, but they are looking for one that makes a
great role model. Contractor Magazine did mention Farmer & Irwin in their
2005 Book of Giants, although not because it is one of the 100 largest
mechanical contractors in the country. The company was the second most
profitable one in our survey, with a net profit of 6.4% on sales of $23.5
million...
