Washington, D.C. – November 11, 2009 – ProSales magazine is pleased to announce the winners of the 2009 ProSales Excellence Awards – the most prestigious awards program in the construction supply industry.
The ProSales Excellence Awards honor outstanding achievements in construction supply in showroom design, facility design, technology, marketing and customer service, advertising, and Web sites. The awards program honors business leaders whose creativity and ingenuity have not only improved and reinvigorated their own companies, but also set new benchmarks for service in the entire industry.
The 2009 Excellence Awards winners, locations and categories are:
• Franklin Building Supply, Boise, ID / Showroom
• Parr Lumber, Hillsboro, OR / Marketing
• Ridgefield Supply, Ridgefield, CT / Website
• The Standard Group, Tinton Falls, NJ / Technology
Receiving honorable mentions are:
• TW Perry, Gaithersburg, MD / Website
• Parr Lumber, Hillsboro, OR / Advertising
• Boston Cedar & Millwork, Holbrook, MA / Website
"The 2009 ProSales Excellence Award winners exemplify how you can do great things even when the housing market is suffering through its worst times in decades," said Craig Webb, editor, ProSales magazine. "Franklin's top-class showroom helped it expand its reach into new parts of the homebuilding market. The Standard Group's use of inventory-tracking technology has more than paid off in time savings and increased control of its stock. Parr's marketing efforts helped it become known as a green building leader in the Pacific Northwest as well as a welcoming spot for the do-it-yourself builder. And the websites created by Ridgefield, TW Perry and Boston Cedar have enabled them to better serve existing customers and attract new buyers."
Key personnel who figured into each winning entry are featured in a series of magazine covers in the just-released November/December edition of ProSales. The four prize winners also will receive a $500 check to give to the charity of their choice. For complete Excellence Awards coverage, visit www.prosalesmagazine.com/excellence.
