Talent crunch

In 2012, Anthony Fernandez's father and grandfather helped him start MTech Repair, an on-the-spot fix-it company for mobile devices such as Apple and Samsung phones and tablets.

Three years later, Anthony Fernandez and his dad, Tony, teamed up again to expand the MTech brand with MTech MDM, which stands for mobile device management. The MDM segment of the brand works with businesses to provide repair services, software advice and installation and has a call center for mobile-technology-related questions.

Lakewood Ranch-based MTech has seen rapid growth in what Tony Fernandez calls an exploding industry. MTech Repair is expecting its final sales to grow by 50% to 70% in 2015 — the first year it won't grow sales at least 100%, Tony Fernandez says. And just three months after its launch, MDM already comprises about 25% of MTech's total business, he adds.
Firm officials declined to release specific revenue figures.
