The company was celebrated for its revenue and job growth in 2011 as it grew to meet increasing demand for special and component mortgage services.

The awards, which were created in 1990 by the ""SMU Cox School of Business Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship"":http://www.cox.smu.edu/web/caruth-institute/caruth-institute-for-entrepreneurship, recognize contributions to the Dallas economy from independent, rapidly growing companies. Presentations were made on November 14 at the 21st Annual Dallas 100 Awards Ceremony and Banquet.

""We are most gratified to be recognized for our rapid rate of growth,"" said Steven Horne, founder, CEO, and president of Wingspan. ""Interestingly, our 2012 numbers far surpass 2011, for which the award was given. Our company's total headcount fluctuates according to projects, but overall we continue to grow at a rapid pace.""

Horne added that he expects Wingspan's employee count will break the 2,000 mark in 2013, eclipsing 2012's substantial growth.

""We are continuing to grow our existing business lines, diversify our services and pursue new strategic relationships that will drive exceptional growth for the next several years,"" he said.
