The Burlington County Regional Chamber of Commerce hosted this year’s Voice of Business Awards on April 27 to recognize individuals and entities that have contributed to the success of the county’s business community, including two in Evesham Township.
“Every day, you demonstrate how the most forward-thinking, creative and community-focused businesses in New Jersey and the region are from Burlington County,” county Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson told the winners at The Merion in Cinnaminson.
“We may be celebrating just a few outstanding individuals and organizations tonight, but we know that every Burlington County business is special, and that all of you are making a difference in our county.”
Evesham’s Adjust Your Sleep Mattress Boutique LLC and owner Kelly Wernersbach won a New Voice Award, which celebrates a newer business with a successful entrepreneurial model and a clear vision for growth in the county.
“Feeling incredibly honored and proud to receive the Burlington County Regional Chamber’s New Voice Award and to represent the greatest town, Marlton,” Wernersbach said. “Thank you to the chamber, my family and friends and to everyone who has supported me along the way. Grateful for this recognition and excited for what’s ahead.”
Evesham’s Xact I.T. Solutions earned the Excellence Award in the small-business category, and Perkins Center for the Arts received the Community Enrichment Award for fostering creativity, connection and culture across the community.
The center will offer new arts programming this year beginning in July, when it will establish a presence in Evesham at two historic sites: Harvest House on Main Street and the Thomas and Mary Evens House on Elmwood Road. Perkins will introduce a mix of visual, literary, musical and performing arts programming.
The Burlington County Agricultural Center also received an economic development award for its support of area farms, food vendors and other small businesses in the county and region.
