Bothell’s Scotsman Publishing Inc. has been named one of Washington’s “Best 100 Companies to Work For” by Washington CEO magazine.

Scotsman was selected from among more than 400 companies nominated for consideration and was one of the winners in the small-company category.

“We’re always looking at best practices as far as enhancing our environment for our employees,” says Bob Colliton, Scotsman’s general manager. “This recognition validates that we’re making good progress in that area and helps us to stay competitive, especially as a small company.”

The top 100 companies were honored June 19 at an awards dinner. The overall rankings will appear in Washington CEO’s July issue. Washington CEO magazine is a business monthly publication that covers business, industry and public-policy issues that impact the state’s economy.

Founded in 1984, Scotsman publishes a residential edition and a commercial edition of Scotsman Guide, in addition to Scotsman Guide Loan Post and other platforms at www.scotsmanguide.com. Each month, the magazines reach tens of thousands of subscribers nationwide. Scotsman Guide is a key resource for mortgage originators, connecting mortgage brokers with wholesale lenders. The most recent Wholesale Access Mortgage Brokers’ Survey found that 72 percent of mortgage brokers in the country read Scotsman Guide regularly and that 88 percent use it to find wholesalers — more than any other publication in the industry.
