SMITHS FALLS, ON, Nov. 21, 2014 /CNW/ - Tweed is used to creating a
buzz, but not amongst Ottawa's
business elite. Last night the company took home an Exceptional New
Business Award at the 21st annual Best Ottawa Business
Awards, the BOBs.
Bruce Linton, Co-Founder and
Chairman of Tweed, was proud to accept the award on behalf of the
organization. "One year ago we were operating with 5 people, trying
to turn an empty chocolate factory into something special. Today we
have over 70 full-time employees operating two state-of-the-art
marijuana production facilities, and we're just getting
started."
The award is the result of hard work and comes on the heels of
Tweed giving the keynote address at the Smiths Falls Chamber of Commerce AGM in late
October. More importantly, it's a signal that the business
community welcomes Tweed as a legitimate industry leader.
"At the Chamber we were most impressed with the dedication it
took to get the operation started," said Ian Faris, President and CEO of the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce. "There were
significant barriers in place but Tweed got up and running quickly
and has been turning heads all year."
The fall harvest from Tweed Farms and a successful harvest from
1 Hershey Drive will be in stores soon. Customers who register
today will have their first order shipped to them without a single
day spent on a waiting list.
