Today it was announced that Ashley Community Housing (ACH) has won a coveted prize in the Stevie International Business Awards. Going up against UK-based and global organisations, Ashley Community Housing won a Silver trophy in the ‘Company of the Year: Non-Profit or Government Organizations’ category. ACH are honoured to be recognised for the great work they do.
Now in its 12th year, the Annual International Business Awards is the world’s only international, all-encompassing business awards program. The 2015 IBAs received entries from more than 60 nations and territories.
“The IBAs grow in stature and renown every year, and with that the number and quality of entries increases,” saidMichael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “This year’s judges were treated to more than 3,700 stories of success and achievement around the world. We thank the judges for their time and feedback, and we congratulate the Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie winners whom we’ll celebrate in Toronto in October.”
Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 200 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process from May through early August.
One of the judges said about ACH, “This company provides an excellent example of how to make a true difference and create better conditions for refugees in a new country”, whilst another commended its “innovative business model addressing a real need underpinned by strong values.”
The organisation was also recognised for “excellent financial growth”.
