The winners in their respective categories included: Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern Wisconsin in Wauwatosa; Kerzner Remodeling & Construction in Oconomowoc; The Starr Group in Greenfield; Batzner Pest Management in New Berlin; and Sargento Foods in Plymouth. Med Advocates of Racine, David Hobbs Honda of Glendale and Cintas in Madison also received runner-up recognition in their respective categories and Spectrum Communication of Brookfield and Sure-Dry Basement Systems of Menasha tied for honorable mention recognition.
“It’s our pleasure to shine the spotlight on these companies, all of whom put a high priority on ethics and integrity with their customers, their employees and their vendors,” said Randall Hoth, president/CEO of the Wisconsin BBB. “I applaud their commendable business practices and their commitment to doing things the right way.”
