Top Small Workplaces Winner 2008!

It’s official! On October 13th, 2008, JA Frate was awarded one of the “Top Small Workplaces 2008” Awards as voted on by The Wall Street Journal and Winning Workplaces. The articles can be found in The Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune and the Northwest Herald. We are very proud to receive this prestigious award!

Winning Workplaces is a nonprofit business support agency located in Evanston, IL. They began with nominations from fellow small business owners. It started from a list of over 400 contestants. From there, it was narrowed down to 35 finalists. Fifteen companies were chosen to receive the “Top Small Workplaces” Award for 2008. It started as a very detailed questionnaire to be filled out and went on to testimonials from employees and customers. JA Frate is the only transportation company in the winner’s circle. We are one of only two companies in the Chicago-land area. If you wish to nominate a small business, please do! The web site link is: www.winningworkplaces.org/topsmallbiz/index.php.
