Each year, family businesses across the state are recognized in five different categories ranging from small businesses to community involvement. The recipients are selected by a panel of independent judges based on business success, positive business and family linkages, multi-generational family involvement, contributions to the community and industry, and innovative business practices or strategies.
PSD President & CEO, Aaron Polhemus was present to accept the award on behalf of the company. “It is an honor to have our business recognized with this award,” says Polhemus. “Working alongside a dedicated and hardworking team makes this possible.”
Peter Polhemus, Founding Partner of PSD adds, “We are humbled to receive a 2017 Family Business of the Year Award. We are a multi-generational, multi-family run business and it is very significant to us to be recognized by this great honor.”
