Pictured, from left to right, are Jeremy Chick, account executive with Ashley’s Business Solutions, and Clay Browning, broker/principal, Tammy Borders, principal, and Ron Borders, broker/principal, with Real Living Realty Advisors.
With regional centers in Valdosta, Tifton, Albany and Savannah, Ashley Business Solutions understands the importance of being active within each community. For more than 33 years, Ashley’s Business Solutions has been providing business machines and service to more than 7,000 customers with a goal to help small and large businesses create, manage, and distribute digital and paper- based documents.
“Sponsoring the Leading Business of the Week allows us to recognize businesses that are active members of the Chamber,” Chick said. “The Chamber is then able to make
sure that all businesses have the opportunity to succeed. The more businesses grow, the better our town is, and it comes back full circle.”
Chick said he hopes the weekly recognition encourages businesses to join the Chamber and become active members.
“We have a world-class Chamber, and we support the Chamber because they support us,” Chick said. “They have many tools in place to help us succeed. When you walk through
the doors, there is always someone greeting you with a smile, and they are ready to serve.”
Leading Business of the Week
As corporate sponsors of the Chamber’s Leading Business of the Week program, Ashley’s Business Solutions has been celebrating
the success of small businesses in Valdosta and Lowndes County for the past year.
Jeremy Chick, an account executive with Ashley’s Business Solutions, attends the celebrations to congratulate the weekly business winners.
“This started as a way for Ashley’s
Business Solutions to give back to the community and support the Chamber,” Chick said. “I try to attend every Monday when the banner is presented and let them know that Ashley’s is supporting their e orts.”
Harris said that businesses that have been Chamber members for at least ve years are eligible to be randomly selected.
“This is just one of the ways the Chamber spotlights our longstanding members,” Harris said. “The Leading Business of the Week is a great way to showcase our members and their accomplishments.”
Watching these businesses grow is rewarding; some have even expanded nationally. As a banker, you get to see the growth, and you understand that they started small and continued to expand. Many of these businesses brought innovation and made those ideas work here in Valdosta. I think we will continue to see this expansion in our area. — Terry Bennett
