Expansion Dieppe innovated with the 18th Edition of its Banquet by presenting it virtually. This annual event showcased Expansion Dieppe’s Awards; entertainment was at the forefront of this event with the presence of many renowned local artists, Luc LeBlanc, André Roy, Christian Essiambre, Samuel Chiasson and Jean-Sébastien "Bass" Levesque delivered live virtual performances during the evening, thus respecting physical distancing. The event also features a musical performance by Emilie Landry, who serenated the audience with her stories to the tune of country-pop-folk lyrics.
Over 1600 views have been registered on Facebook Live. People participated in the comfort of their home or business. To get into the festive atmosphere of the banquet, participants were invited to order a meal from their favorite Dieppe restaurant and their favorite drink produced in Dieppe. During the live broadcast, the finalist’s emotions were apparent as family and friends surrounded them.
Expansion Dieppe presented four awards: the Business Excellence Award, the Service Business Excellence Award and the Emerging Business Award, all to businesses that had demonstrated remarkable success throughout the year. Expansion Dieppe also took the opportunity to present the My Choice Award, which is the public’s choice and which has sparked a lot of interest. The vote was extremely close until the very last minute.
Malley Industries received the
Business Excellence Award. This family business celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2019. A source of satisfaction for the Malley family is being able to provide employment to a growing population of New Brunswickers and newcomers to the region, and firmly believes in the value added by businesses to the local economy. Producing world-class ambulances, wheelchair-accessible vehicles and thermoformed composite products all over North America and abroad is a source of great pride.
The
Service Business Excellence Award was awarded to
EXIT Realty Associates. EXIT Realty Associates is a residential real estate brokerage franchise that quickly became synonymous with reliability and reputation not only in Dieppe, but also throughout the Southeast region of New Brunswick. EXIT Realty understands and recognizes that they are not only involved in the sale of real estate, but that they have become reliable consultants and sought-after by their clients. EXIT Realty quickly became a leader in their industry with 25% of the market share. Strategically located in Dieppe, they offer their member-consultants a modern, cutting-edge workplace.
CAVOK Brewing Co., which won the My Choice Award last year, won the
Emerging Business Award. CAVOK Brewing Co. is an innovative craft microbrewery. Offers different beers of exquisite quality and presents a neat brand image. The experience offered at their "Taproom" allows customers to taste local products in an entertaining open-concept atmosphere with an exceptional view of the brewery. The industrial, modern and warm design of the brewery makes it a unique place in New Brunswick.
Chosen by the public
BENNIC won
My Choice Award. While it was only the pursuit of a dream, Bennic opened its doors in 2011 in a modest building to move to its current location in 2013. Even today, Bennic is proud to serve thousands of ice creams to children and to adults of all ages in exchange for a smile. As a family business, Bennic is dedicated to offering a wide range of high quality products with "second to none" customer service, and be the preferred choice for all families looking to satisfy their sweet tooth.
