Charlotte, N.C. (February, 2008) -- Kenneth D. Carrick, Jr., managing partner for Coleman Lew & Associates, a national executive search firm based here, reported a record 49.9 percent increase in revenues for the company during calendar year 2007 compared to 2006 with continuing strong revenue projected throughout first quarter 2008.

According to Carrick, "We've posted our best year ever for revenues since our founding in 1979. The business momentum we created from last year's efforts will continue through the first quarter of this year, and our long term outlook is favorable since the search for executive talent continues to escalate as more baby boomer generation executives retire."
