Inc.5000 companies are ranked by their growth percentages over the past three years. Thomas G. Gallagher grew 47.4% over that time. “We’ve been helped by expansion in the greater Boston healthcare sector,” says CEO Brian Potter, “since one of our specialties is the installation and service of mechanical systems for that industry.

He anticipates more growth for T.G. Gallagher in the area of “green” building. Potter recently earned certification as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Accredited Professional, making him fully qualified to help projects attain this widely accepted standard for sustainable green building and development practices.
