Secure-Rite Mobile Storage was recognized for not only business skills but also social awareness at the 33rd Annual Kelowna Business Excellence Awards Thursday.
Secure-Rite received the trophy for medium-sized company of the year and the Social Leadership Award.
“We’re very honored,” said Secure-Rite owner and president Lucas Griffin.
“We would like to thank the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce for their hard work and efforts throughout the process, and for coordinating an exciting (and safe) gala.”
Founded 16 years ago in Kelowna, Secure-Rite now has multiple locations in BC and Alberta selling and renting shipping containers for mobile storage, mobile offices and even mobile homes. “Class =” img-responsive “src =” https: // www .kelownanow.com / files / files / images / securerite.jpg “style =” margin: 5px; “/>
