"We began our partnership with Azalea 18 months ago. During that time they have allowed our Management team to operate the business, but they have brought resources and opportunities to us, which have allowed us to grow faster and farther than we could have on our own. Most importantly, they do what they say they will do and I trust them as a valued partner." Keith Ravan, CEO Power Equipment Maintenance, Inc. Anderson, SC Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2003 — Southeast Region "We had a prosperous and mutually beneficial relationship with Azalea in recent years.

Most importantly, the chemistry was a fit and with Azalea's assistance, we made unprecedented strides in the growth and success of our company. Our company is better off today because of our association with Azalea."  Vijay Anand, CEO Canterbury Engineering Company and GENCA “Azalea Capital is a valued member of our organization, both as investors and advisors.
