The results of this eighth annual award program, which recognized only one company in each of four size categories, were revealed in an announcement by the Better Business Bureau on July 2nd, available online at http://boston.bbb.org. A panel of judges selected Winters Company and three other businesses based on a number of criteria including their high standards of excellence towards customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders, and the communities in which they do business, as well as their reputation of ethical practices in the marketplace, according to the statement by the Better Business Bureau.

"The goal of Winters Company is to become the world's greatest residential plumbing and heating company by exceeding people's expectations and demonstrating unsurpassed professionalism and skill at all times," said Winters Company president and CEO Tim Flynn. "We're working toward that goal by upholding a very rigorous employee training program for both technical ability and customer service skills for our employees. We try to reward their success on a daily basis, and I sincerely thank and congratulate them on achieving this great honor."

Winters Company states that its technical and service training programs, employee development and customer support functions are geared toward building and maintaining strong customer loyalty, resulting in 80% of its business being generated through referrals and repeat customers.
