BBB Integrity Awards Honor Omaha Businesses

Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) (www.bbb.org) Annual Integrity Awards are designed to promote not only the importance of ethical business practices, but also the willingness and efforts made by outstanding businesses and charities that demonstrate a solid commitment to marketplace trust.

The 2018 Award Winners were selected by independent panels of judges representing businesses and academic and charitable organizations in metro Omaha. They were honored on Tuesday, October 9 at BBB’s 23rd Integrity Awards Luncheon held at the Embassy Suites Omaha – La Vista Conference Center.

In the small for-profit business categories, the following companies received BBB Integrity Awards: Travel With Barb (1-4 employees); Royalty Roofing & Renovations (5-10 Employees) and Xcel Roofing (11-24 employees). In the category for charities with fewer than 24 employees, the award was presented to Chariots4Hope.

In the large for-profit business categories, the companies awarded were: Makovicka Physical Therapy and OBI Creative (25-99 employees); Eyman Plumbing, Heating & Air (100-249 employees); Thrasher (250-499 employees) and NMC, Inc. (500+ employees). There were two charities with more than 25 employees that received a BBB Integrity Award: Community Alliance and OneWorld Community Health Centers, Inc.

The judges felt that other organizations that submitted applications were worthy of recognition too. Therefore, those also demonstrating that they placed a high priority on honesty and integrity in the work place were recognized with “Silver Awards of Distinction” for significant commitment to ethical business practices and a “Bronze Award of Merit” for exemplifying the values of the BBB. They also serve as ambassadors of trust in the marketplace.

The “Silver Award of Distinction” recipients were: Bridges Trust, Merchants Credit Adjusters, Inc. and Medical Solutions. PromiseShip – The New Nebraska Families Collaborative received a Silver Award in the category for charities with 25 or more employees. Seldin Company was presented with a “Bronze Award of Merit.”
