Washington, DC, September 4, 2012 – Inc. magazine has named Metro Office Management of Washington, DC to its sixth annual Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.

Our growth and this award underscore the importance of this promise and the innovative workspace solutions that we provide to our clients every day.”

“Metro Office Access expands our flexible workspace offering enabling clients to access business-ready workspaces on-demand for dollars a day,” said Kelly Bedsole, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Metro Offices. “The local coffee shop has its place, but with Metro Office Access, knowledge workers access workspace that is built for business – not sipping coffee. Today, we provide private and semi-private offices, meeting and executive lounge spaces across our network of 10 locations by the hour or year.
