The firm has placed well in past years, but reaching #1 is an honor for the airport consulting firm.
To develop the rankings, the judges look at areas such as opportunities for challenge and growth, a collaborative environment, compensation, benefits, employee recognition initiatives, recruiting/retention efforts, and professional development programs.
Just as in 2009, Delta was highlighted as being particularly strong in professional development. As Charlie Lamb, the company’s president points out, “We recognize that our employees are our primary key to success and we promote professional development of all individuals.”
One of the judges commented, “it is striking that so many of Delta Airport Consultants’ employees cite ‘excellent customer service’ as a hallmark of what makes a firm one of the ‘best’ to work for, as opposed to more conventional references to employee benefits.”
Delta prides itself on fostering an environment where passion and enthusiasm is rewarded and this is apparent in Charlie Lamb’s job description: “Do the right thing. Help others reach for their best. Plan for a great future. Add value every day. Have Fun – it’s contagious.”

The 80 person firm is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and has seven additional offices in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Atlanta, Georgia; Charlotte, North Carolina; Cleveland, Ohio; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Little Rock, Arkansas; and Raleigh, North Carolina.
