• Patrick Hughes, owner and founder of Hughes Group LLC, of Tacoma, has been named the Small Business Administration’s national “Minority Small Business Person of the Year.”  Hughes started his government contracting company 11 years ago after retiring from the U.S. Army. His company provides a variety of contracting services to government agencies, including aircraft refueling and maintenance, personnel placement and help desk support. Hughes was selected from a group of 10 regional U.S. winners. His award was announced last week at the 28th annual National Minority Enterprise Development conference in Washington, D.C. Hughes said his company’s employment fluctuates between 110 and 150 people, and has annual revenues that are greater than $7 million. Some reasons for his success, he said, were “bringing in the right people and bringing out first-class service.” He also thanked some government agencies who took a chance on his company when he was first starting out 11 years ago. http://www.hughesgroup.biz/index.htm
