Jay's Moving & Storage Ltd., serving over 400 locations in Saskatchewan including the Battlefords, was named Saskatchewan's Business of the Year at the 27th Annual Achievement in Business Excellence (ABEX) Awards Dinner.
Jay's Moving & Storage was also the winner in the service category.
Starting in 1965, as a small, family owned and operated trucking proprietorship, it has grown to 12 full service offices and warehouses with a staff of over 400 in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The company's modern vehicle fleet includes over 600 trucks and trailers.
"We are excited to name Jay's Moving & Storage Ltd. as Saskatchewan's 2010 Business of the Year," said Steve McLellan, CEO of the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce.
"Business of the Year is an exclusive award recognizing success and potential in a variety of areas. Jay's has served the people of our province for over 45 years. Their attention to customer service is exceptional; they continually look for innovative ways to grow the company and serve their customers better. Jay's helps our province move every day, in one way or another."
Sponsored by the W. Brett Wilson Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence, the Business of the Year is selected from all ABEX entrants and is awarded to the business demonstrating exceptional performance that is particularly outstanding and deserving of praise. The performance may represent either individual achievement or overall success. The Award is judged according to profitability, growth, stability, investment strategy, and impact based on the relative size of the corporation.
Fourteen ABEX Awards in addition to the Business of the Year were presented to companies representing a variety of regions across the province.
