Based in Orlando, FL, Designers' -Press is proud of its staff. The company has had nearly zero turnover in 15 years. Says owner Dave Simons, "More than three-quarters of our employees have been with me over 10 years. You can't do this business without the right people." In fact, the company's name is taken from its people. Simons' artistic background is carried through the company's business philosophy — even the salespeople have art backgrounds. Simons says, "We have understanding of what agency people want — that's why we call it 'Designers' Press.' We're very critical about what we give our customers and how we can match all of their expectations." Simons and his partner, Dave Wolf, started the company in 1990 with only a telephone and a desk. Now, the company employs 75 who generated revenues of approximately $12 million in 2004.
