Steam Whistle’s environmental consciousness continues to make it a leader on green initiatives.” Your story of the Three Fired Guys who now successfully run one of Toronto’s best managed companies that produces a pilsner recognized for its quality is an inspiration to our business community. The Board of Trade offered their congratulations, “ The combination of Steam Whistle’s original value proposition and its dynamic marketing, along with your unique culture, is what drives the tremendous success of your company. Eligible companies had annual revenues up to $50-million and an employee base of no more than 500 people and winners were selected by a panel of judges. Winners and nominees were honoured for their business success and their impact and contribution to the local community. They’re contributing to the vibrancy of their communities, both economically and culturally, and we’re excited to recognize their efforts.”Īt the 5th Annual Business Excellence Awards at the Toronto Region Board of Trade in November 2015, Steam Whistle’s cofounders – Greg Taylor & Cam Heaps – were named 2016 Business Leaders of the Year. Today we’re acknowledging businesses that are doing just that. Increasingly we’re seeing the value of investing in cycling and creating a culture of active transportation in order to attract and retain talented professionals. In short – when a business bikes, the business benefits.
