ScottMadden Celebrates 25 Years of Exceptional Client Relationships

Consulting Firm Credits Client Trust for Its Growth and Success

RALEIGH, N.C. (March 11, 2008) — ScottMadden, Inc., a leading management consulting firm specializing in energy, shared services, and outsourcing advisory services, is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2008. ScottMadden has been the trusted advisor to leaders in utilities, entertainment, health care, financial services, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, and other industries on business issues affecting long-term growth and profitability since 1983.

According to Brad Kitchens, ScottMadden president and CEO, the firm's sustained success is linked directly to the strong relationships between the firm and its clients. "Many of our clients have been with us for years because we have a culture of putting their interests above our own," he said. "They know they can trust us to give them candid counsel and practical recommendations they can implement to produce results."

The yearlong anniversary observance focuses on the three fundamental components of the firm's success: its client relationships, its people, and its sustainable business model.

"These three components are keys to our long-term success," said Kitchens. "We must excel equally in all three areas to build on the achievements we have made over the past 25 years."

At its annual meeting in February 2008, ScottMadden's 20 partners reflected on the firm's success over the past 25 years and envisioned plans for the future of the firm. Kitchens said, "As we look forward, I am encouraged and energized by the capabilities of our consultants and the vision of our partners. We are in this business to serve our clients and help them succeed. Thanks to our people, our prospects to do so in the future are bright indeed."

"We wish to thank our clients for engaging ScottMadden in the past," he continued, "and we pledge to continue delivering an exceptional consulting experience."
