June 2015 - Express Alpharetta Wins 2015 "Business of the Year" Award!
Express Alpharetta has been awarded by the Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce as their 2015 "Business of the Year!"
Our Express Employment Professionals in Alpharetta, GA was graciously awarded as the Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce "Business of the Year" for 2015! Express Employment Professionals was recognized as Business of the Year with six to twenty employees.There were over 80 applicants this year and Express Employment Professionals was chosen as a leader in business growth, business culture and community involvement.
"We knew that Express Employment had set a very high bar for the rest of the interviews as soon as we walked out of their office", said Don Kemp, Chair of the selection committee. "It was a pleasure to interview them and even more, to choose them for the Business of the Year award."
Express Employment demonstrated growth in sales over the last three years while understanding client demands and meeting their needs. During our office visit, we witnessed and were extremely impressed by the way the Express Employment staff treated job applicants in the initial meeting. They truly "walk the talk" in their business practices. We were pleased to learn of the many ways they interface in the community with ongoing involvement in many projects and venues.
"Since 2000, we have been helping businesses find great workers and helping job seekers find work. This is already rewarding yet being recognized by the Cumming Forsyth County Chamber just reaffirms that we're making a difference", said Rodney Moore, owner of the Alpharetta Express Employment Professionals office.
As Business of the Year, we were invited to attend an award presentation to honor Congressman Rob Woodall with the "2015 Spirit of Enterprise" Award. The US Chamber of Commerce awarded Congressman Rob Woodall for his support of pro-growth and pro-jobs policies for the 7th District of Georgia. During the award ceremony on June 22, Express Alpharetta was also once again honored for our "Business of the Year" award and was able to honor Congressman Rob Woodall with his "2015 Spirit of Enterprise" award, too!
