October 20, 2016 (Monroe, CT)—They hold the title: Church Hill Classics, known online as diplomaframe.com, is the only Connecticut-based company to make the Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Companies List a record 10 times. They're also one of only two businesses in the Consumer Products & Services industry to make the Ten-Time Inc. 5000 Honor Roll.

"We're honored to be a ten-time Inc. 5000 recipient—it's truly one of my proudest moments," remarked Voves. "It's been a privilege to provide quality, American-made products that celebrate life's special milestones, and now we're thrilled to celebrate our own milestone achievement. I can't think of a better way to commemorate 25 years in business!"
Inc. has welcomed America's fastest-growing private companies into its exclusive club for the past 35 years. Eric Schurenberg, President and Editor in Chief of Inc., congratulated Voves on this prestigious honor.
