DULLES, VA Dec. 31, 2015 – Reston Limousine closed its 25th anniversary year with $24.2 million in revenue, a 13% year-over-year increase from 2014.
“We’ve continued to experience growth steadily since 1990, and the last several years have been no exception,” President and CEO Kristina Bouweiri said. In 2014, the company posted $21.4 million in revenue, $18.4 million in 2013 and $18.3 in 2012.
In recognition of Reston Limousine’s growing stature in the industry, the company earned the prestigious Operator of the Year award in March at the annual LCT Show in Las Vegas. Following are highlights of the company’s growth in 2015:
