This fall Birch Equipment was nominated and selected by the community to receive the Bellingham Regional Chamber of Commerce Large Business of the Year award.
Nominations for the Small Business, Large Business, New Business and Non-profit of the Year awards were submitted by the public and the Chamber of Commerce members. After evaluation by the Annual Awards Selection Committee, five nominees were selected for each category. Final voting was then turned over to the Chamber members with one vote per business.
In December Birch teams attended the Annual Event hosted at the Silver Reef Casino. Guy Occhiogrosso and the Chamber Team put on a wonderful event full of celebration of local businesses.
