BRIDGEPORT, CT - April 27, 2001-
Prime Resources Corporation, a Counselor Top 25 Supplier,
was selected as one of the winners of the Connecticut
Inner City 10 Entrepreneurship Award for 2001 by Connecticut's
Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD).
It also received honors as one of the National Inner
City 100 Award recipients by Inc. Magazine and the
Initiative for a Competitive Inner City.
The honor was bestowed upon Prime after a comprehensive application, interview
and facility tour process, which identified the state's fastest growing inner city
companies over the past 5 years. According to the DECD, these companies seized opportunities
often overlooked by others and are the front-runners in the new economy. Governor John Rowland
presented the state award to Prime at the February 15th meeting of the organization responsible
for selecting the winners, the Governor's Council on Economic Competitiveness and Technology.
The national award was presented to Prime's controller, Fred Everson at a ceremony in Boston on
April 27th.
Jerry Russo, Prime's C.O.O. stated, "This distinction is a validation of
the enormous effort put forth every day by everyone at Prime. In addition, we
have experienced a terrific amount of growth over the last 5 years thanks to our
continuous product development, award-winning service, aggressive sales/marketing
efforts and ever-expanding state-of-the-art facility."
Russo continued, "Economically distressed cities like Bridgeport,
Connecticut are easy to discount but we're proud to be a major part of the
revitalization efforts being made here. We have a tremendously diverse workforce
pool from which to select the best person for any given position - and our distributors benefit from it."
Prime Resources Corporation strives to provide the best service and product offering in the
industry and is "Your Global Source for Products That Promote."
