Big news in the Burnaby business world.
Beedie Development Group has been named the 2016 inductee to the Burnaby Business Hall of Fame.
Each year, the Burnaby Board of Trade and the City of Burnaby recognize one local business for demonstrating many years of success and for having a “positive and significant impact on the community,” according to a press release from the board of trade.
“I am pleased to announce Beedie Development Group as this year’s inductee to the Burnaby Business Hall of Fame,” Paul Holden, President and CEO of the Burnaby Board of Trade, said in a press release. “Beedie Development Group has been serving the Lower Mainland and Burnaby for over 60 years. Their commitment to quality, customer service, business excellence and to this community as a whole, has been remarkable. There are few businesses that have had a bigger hand in literally building and shaping our city and region, and they will be a welcome addition to the Burnaby Business Hall of Fame.”
What started as a family business has since grown into a successful development and real estate company focusing on industrial, commercial and residential projects in both British Columbia and Alberta. Keith Beedie founded the company in 1954.
“We’re extremely honoured to be inducted in to the Burnaby Business Hall of Fame. Our company was established on, and is grounded in, performing quality work and building meaningful and lasting relationships along the way,” said Ryan Beedie, president of Beedie Development Group, in the release. “Both our company and our family have deep roots in Burnaby and we are thankful for the support we have received from the people here, and look forward to a future of continued growth within this community.”
Beedie Development Group will be officially inducted into the Burnaby Business Hall of Fame at the hall of fame and nominees’ luncheon on Thursday, Oct. 13 at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown.
