HOUSTON, Sept. 14, 2007—Achilles Group, an Houston-based HR firm, is featured by the Houston Business Journal as one of the fastest growing companies in Houston.

At a luncheon, Achilles Group, which becomes the HR director for small and medium sized businesses, was recognized by the Houston Business Journal as the 27th fastestgrowing business in the city. The Fast 100, which identifies the city's fastest growing companies, is featured in a special section of the issue of the Houston Business Journal, dated Sept. 14, 2007.

"There is no coincidence that our recent growth corresponds with company’s desires to outsource and receive Fortune 500 HR expertise for half the cost of having an internal HR department," said Bill Bradshaw, vice president and founder of Achilles Group.
