JK2 Scenic recognized for outstanding growth on Gator100 list

From the swamp to some of the world’s most recognized themed construction projects, JK2 Scenic has grown into a University of Florida business success story. The specialty subcontractor was recently named to the Gator100.

The awards recognize the 100 fastest-growing businesses in the world that are led by the alumni of the University of Florida. This is the third time JK2 Scenic has received the honor.

“I’m always proud to say I’m a Gator”, said Julie Holmes, JK2 Scenic president. “Being recognized for the business I’ve been able to grow and applying what I learned in school at the University of Florida is an immense honor.”
The Gator100 honorees are chosen and ranked based on compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over a three-year period. The companies must have revenues of $250,000 or more every year from 2022 through 2024 and must have been in continuous business for five years as of October 31, 2025. The company must be Gator owned or led by a UF alumni who served as a chief executive from January 1, 2022, to October 31, 2025. Hundreds of companies apply for this honor each year.
Holmes is a graduate of the University of Florida, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering. She was a two-time academic all-SEC student athlete and a three-letter winner of the University of Florida’s Women’s Swimming and Diving Team.

JK2 Scenic was honored at an event April 10-11 in Gainesville.
