FORT MYERS, Fla. - Floridant -- Drake Ready Mix, a family-owned and operated concrete ready mix company, has been announced as an honoree for the 14th Annual GrowFL Florida 'Companies to Watch' Award, which honors high-growth, second-stage companies headquartered in Florida that demonstrate exceptional innovation and potential for future success.
Founded in 2006 by a father-and-son team, Drake Ready Mix operates out of a 10-acre, state-of-the-art production facility with a fleet of 100+ trucks and offers many standard and custom mixes and designs.

"While it's a point of pride to have achieved tremendous growth for our team and company, it means even more to know that we've done so while maintaining the level of quality and customer service that's at the foundation of our business. We feel that this award truly underscores our commitment, passion and dedication to providing our community with reliable and quality products and service."
