AMP Security is pleased to announce its
new corporate headquarters in American Fork, Utah and the additional staff members
it has added as it continues to expand its sales force and markets across the
US.
In a down economy, one Utah-based security company, AMP
Security, has soared in growth increasing its revenue by phenomenal rates. AMP Security, which was featured as the 5th
fastest growing company in Utah County by Utah Valley Business Quarterly
Magazine, has grown by 228% over a 3 year period from 2007-2010, with revenues
in excess of $27 million in 2010 (http://utahvalleybusinessq.com/uv50/2011-uv50-top-30-fastest-growing-companies).
With many companies
experiencing significant downsizing and layoffs, AMP founder Allen Bolen, has
capitalized on the opportunity that the economy has created in the job market,
“a tough employment market increases
the supply of talented people for key positions,” says Bolen. Many companies and start-ups have been
cautious to enter the marketplace or nervous to add expansions to their current
operations, but Bolen states, “I believe in grindstone mentality…grinding it
out takes longer, but it’s the surer path. If you wait for big breaks, you may
be left waiting.”
One of the keys to
AMP’s phenomenal growth has been its focus on its sales staff. AMP provides the best training, support and
opportunity to its sales force, as evidenced by its incredible sales rep and
office averages. AMP averaged 108
accounts per sales rep in 2011, soaring head and shoulders above its
competitors. This was an increase from
2010 in both averages and total sales volume.
At AMP, sales reps are the lifeblood of the company and Bolen believes
that one of the pillars of AMP’s success is its unique philosophy of treating its sales reps like customers. (http://www.workatamp.com)
AMP is pleased to announce the expansion of corporate
headquarters and the latest additions to its corporate staff in order to keep
up with its phenomenal growth over the past several years.
AMP Security recently moved its headquarters to North Pointe Business Park, one of American
Fork's newest commercial listings. The 25,000 square-foot facility gives AMP
Security increased office space, occupying the entire top floor of the
building, and the ability to expand as needed.
The move to
North Pointe Business Park, which is adjacent to Interstate 15 at approximately
500 East, will allow AMP to consolidate its existing two locations currently in
Provo and Orem and to optimize company resources.
Ryan Lee,
president and founder of AMP Security, started in summer sales in 1996 and is now
entering his 13th year in the industry.
He was also named as a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur
of the Year Award. He has been excited
to see the unprecedented grow of AMP in such a short period of time and its expansion
into the new corporate headquarters. "North Pointe Business Park brings
our company several advantages, namely more space and easy access for
employees," said Lee. "This incredibly convenient, central location
puts us in a position to better serve our sales reps and managers, a company
focus that continues to set us apart from our competitors." (http://www.ey.com/US/en/About-us/Entrepreneur-Of-The-Year/PNW_UTAH_Article_2010-Finalists)
