“The nominees and winners this year have all demonstrated the leadership and innovation that drives BC’s export industry. Despite continued economic challenges, they continue to grow their businesses and have helped our province achieve impressive export numbers,” said Craig Williams, vice president BC Division, CME. “It is important that we continue to recognise their achievements and the important role they play in the success of our economy.”
