Burke Bros Moving Group was the winner of the Service Provider of the Year Award and one of the nominees for Continuous Improvement Award at the recent annual Black Country Chamber of Commerce business awards.
The event attracted over 320 people from nearly 1500 members of the Chamber from the Boroughs of Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley and Sandwell.
"To be outright winner of Service Provider of The Year has made us all feel very proud as we were not up against our own service industry but against many organisations from every sector of business service providers,” said Gary Burke, the company’s Managing Director. “We thought we had a chance as we were one of the three finalists for the Continuous Improvement Award but never expected to walk away with the outright award of Service Provider of the Year.”
The awards, which took place at Wolverhampton Racecourse, attracted a record number of entries and Paul Bennett, President of the Chamber said that the judges had some very difficult decisions to make.
Gary thanked his staff who, he said, had continued to work through trying times. “We have aimed to keep improving and to invest in all areas of the business. I’d also like to thank The University, Science Park, Chamber of Commerce and Business Solutions who have all been working closely on our development of staff and projects.”
