“We continue to be pleased with our performance in this economic environment, and we continue to see growth opportunities across our markets,” John Heyman, Radiant’s co-chief executive officer and chief financial officer. “While 2001 results were adversely affected by the economic downturn, during 2002 we have driven positive results from a disciplined approach to managing our business.”
Radiant says its sales pipeline grew during the quarter as it closed significant contracts with companies such as TotalFinaElf, AFC Enterprises and Hooters of America.
