From the CEO's desk... When Bill Roark and Don Holder founded Torch in 2002,
they knew that employees were the company's greatest asset. They believed that
offering employees a stake in the outcome, by making them all owners, was
critical to building a successful organization. I share that feeling. Bill and
Don's original intent was fully achieved in 2011 when Torch converted to a 100
percent S-Corp ESOP. Since that time, the company has grown over ten-fold and
gained national recognition for the success we have demonstrated as an
employee-owned company. Today, Torch continues to respect the individual
contributions of our employee-owners and to share the rewards of our success. In
addition, we continue to foster an environment of employee recognition, respect,
development, and comradery while striving to achieve a healthy work-life
balance. We recognize that core to our company is a culture of trust with our
employees, customers, business partners, and community. Our management team is
committed to continue to earn that trust. This past year, Torch proudly
announced that we were Certified Evergreen™. A timely achievement for Torch
employee-owners as they will celebrate Torch’s 20th anniversary this October,
becoming Certified Evergreen™ signifies that while Torch employee-owners can
look back on Torch’s past with pride, Torch is also looking forward. Becoming
Certified Evergreen™ means that Torch has committed to finding ways to make 100
percent employee ownership sustainable so that Torch will remain a private
company forever. Going forward, Torch will continue to evolve to address market
and technology changes in order to become a major provider of cost-effective
technical services and solutions to the Warfighter. We are making significant
investments into facilities, equipment, business systems, and research to enable
us to provide innovations and timely business services to our clients. We feel
that always looking to improve our service is key to sustaining customer trust
in the future. Likewise, we believe that continuing to share ownership is one of
the ways we maintain employee trust and an unparalleled commitment to succeed.
Combined, these timeless principles form the basis of the Torch culture. A
culture that we are committed to continue and strive to pass on to the next
generation of employee-owners as an Evergreen Company.
