Comments From Past Business Achievement Award Recipients
“It has been a few years since winning my award and I am still thrilled anytime someone asks me about it! If I need a bit of motivation I’ll look at my award and get reminded that hard work can be rewarded! I hope that other people will be able to experience the kind of joy this award has brought me. I encourage anyone who feels like they deserve to be nominated to ask for a nomination (don’t be shy). Or if you know a chamber member business that is doing great things, please extend a nomination. Maybe one day they will need some inspiration and they will have their own sparkling award to get them motivated!” -Kym Taal, Terra Cotta Foods Ltd, Employee of the Year 2015 "It was a pleasure to be recognized for our growth and dedication to supporting the Halton Hills community. I was worried that it would cause distractions and that has not been the case. It was overall a pleasant experience. I only regret not inviting more employees to the awards dinner since they were instrumental in reaching this achievement." -Dino Deligiannis, Intlvac Inc., Business of the Year 2017 "When we were notified of receiving the Small Business of the Year award, of course it was a shock to us. We understand there are so many small business in Georgetown who do what we do everyday and love what they do and providing their service to the people of Halton Hills. So for us to be picked out of a group and recognized for our services we were very proud. We enjoy doing what we are doing and have been doing it for 8 years now. To be recognized for what you love to do I think says a lot, and we must be doing something right. We will continue to provide great food and great service to our guests when they come into Hungry Hollow Smokehouse for years to come. -Michael Parsons, Hungry Hollow Smokehouse & Grille, Small Business of the Year 2017 |
