TORCH AWARD- There has never been a better time to have your own business!!

The Better Business Bureau was founded in 1912 and is dedicated to fostering fair and honest relationships between businesses and consumers, instilling consumer confidence and contributing to an ethical business environment.

The Better Business Bureau recently presented us with the 2008 Torch Award. This prestigious award honors us for it's example of ethics and integrity in dealing with customers, employees and the community.

"The criteria for the award include company philosophy, integrity in action, customer service, internal and external communication as well as community involvement", says the local BBB Director of Operations Danielle Torres. " This company stands out from its industry competitors in those five ways."

Although the Better Business Bureau cannot endorse any business, it recognizes our 24-year reputation of ethics and integrity as a reputable company.

As our presence continues to grow in communities across North America and around the world, the BBB Torch Award shows consumers everywhere that our mission of enhancing lives is still being accomplished in accordance to the highest standards of ethical business.
