Burlington's Top Businesses Honoured at Annual Excellence Awards

Recognizing leadership and distinction within the community is one part of the Burlington Chamber of Commerce mandate. One of the ways they do this is through their Business Excellence Awards which were awarded earlier this week when 400 attendees took part in an event to celebrate the finalists and winners of the 2023 event.

Randall Smallbone, Chair of the Board of Directors spoke for everyone when he said 'We are delighted to be back at the Burlington Convention Centre this year! We took a different approach on the format last year and following the feedback from our members, the response was to bring the event back to its original format' everyone gathered in one place stated

Smallbone added that the Business Awards Task Force was faced with the challenge of bestowing nine Awards of Excellence. The Chamber named 24 local organizations as finalists in a variety of categories.

Award nominations were based on overall business excellence; the criteria included excellence in business leadership, community contributions, entrepreneurship, employee welfare, innovation and market growth.
