Church Hill Classics/Diplomaframe.com, a diploma frame manufacturer, made the Inc. 5000 Fast-Growth Business List for 9th Time.

Only two Connecticut companies have made the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growth Business List nine times, and Church Hill Classics (CHC), known online as diplomaframe.com, is one of them.

Lucie Voves, CEO and Founder of CHC, began the company in 1991 in the basement of her Connecticut home. From that modest beginning, the company’s revenue grew to $10.1 million in 2014, had a recent three-year growth of 57% and added 19 jobs since 2012. Women entrepreneurs on the coveted list consist of only 13.5% or 657 of the 5000, which places Ms. Voves in elite company.

For the last 34 years, Inc. has welcomed the fastest-growing private companies in America into its exclusive club. Eric Schurenberg, President and Editor in Chief of Inc. magazine, congratulated CHC saying, “Diplomaframe.com now shares a pedigree with Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, GoPro, Timberland, Clif Bar, Patagonia, Oracle and other notable alumni.”

Ms. Voves attributes most of the company’s success to providing hand-crafted, top-quality frames that incorporate school logos, creative marketing knowledge, professional, individual customer service by caring employees, and enduring commitment to made-in-America and produced in Connecticut.

CHC showcases one's life milestone achievements via hand-crafted, high-quality diploma and insignia frames for colleges, universities, professional organizations, military branches and high-affinity membership groups. CHC caters to its customers with designable frames, an easy-to-navigate and award-winning diplomaframe.com e-commerce site and excellent customer service. The company shares the excitement of graduates, alumni and their families as they celebrate milestone accomplishments and also encourages student success by offering its annual Frame My Future Scholarship Contest.
