Wow! What a great year! We had the opportunity to open over 7 new offices in New England and added an additional 30 employees to our company headcount. In the past year, we have been fortunate and we are very thankful for our clients and our employees whom through we were able to share our most successful year in our company’s history.
Usherwood was able to garner several awards this year including The Family Business Award for Business Innovation in Central New York, Best Places to Work in Central New York for the 5th year, Economic Champion in Central New York for the 4th year, and one of ENX Magazines’ Elite Dealers for the 3rd year. In addition, we also received Fastest Growing Business award from Xerox Corporation and an Advanced Dealer Partner award from Canon.
What do you do to celebrate such a successful year? Well, you throw a party!
We had the great opportunity to gather our entire team from across New England to the Turning Stone Resort Casino on October 26th for our all company 2018 review and 2019 kick-off meeting. The meeting was a huge success and we all became more aligned and focused on our objectives and goals for the new year. The meeting was followed by an outstanding dinner provided by the Turning Stone Resort Casino and we played host to over 240 employees and guests. Afterward, company CEO, Lou Usherwood, and the Usherwood Leadership Group consisting of CTO, Charlie Usherwood; VP of Operations, Cliff Laws; VP of Finance, Andrew Flamik; and VP of Sales, Ken Stinson were able to recognize the efforts of our long-standing and loyal employees. Those employees received gifts to commemorate 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, and 30-year anniversaries with the company. At the same awards dinner, we were able to honor over 20 employees with awards that distinguished both their talents, loyalty, and hard work on behalf of Usherwood.
