Our local Chamber of commerce hosts a celebration of business excellence awards ceremony annually. Local businesses are nominated by customers and a panel reviews the nominations and choses winners prior to the ceremony. We were nominated in 2 categories, among many dedicated business owners and entrepreneurs. Being nominated allowed us to reflect on the past 2+ years, the leap of faith, the hard work, the excitement and ultimately the feeling of being right where we were meant to be! The Emerging Entrepreneur award ‘recognizes new businesses that have achieved significant success in one to three years of operation. The recipient will have implemented a vision and pursued strategies that promote, enhance and sustain awareness of their business and their brand to increase sales, overcome obstacles, and understand and meet the needs of their customer.’

We are absolutely thrilled to receive the Emerging Entrepreneur award We can appreciate the hard work that goes into developing all aspects of a business. We were among many nominees who clearly have the grit and determination and run thriving businesses and we commend them for all of their hard work! We are lucky to be part of such an amazing community, and together we are better! Big thank you’s for the nominations! We are SO grateful for our clients and supporters!
