Diplomaframe.com Earns Spot on Inc. 5000 Fast-Growth
Business List for Prestigious Ninth Time

Monroe, CT - August 18, 2015 - Only two Connecticut companies have made Inc. 5000 Fastest Growth Business List nine times, and Church Hill Classics (CHC), known online as diplomaframe.com, is one of them.

Eric Schurenberg, President and Editor in Chief of Inc. magazine congratulated CHC and added, “Diplomaframe.com now shares a pedigree with Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, GoPro, Timberland, Clif Bar, Patagonia, Oracle, and other notable alumni.”
