SRG ranks 27th in top 100 Canadian Women Entreprenuer Awards by PROFIT Magazine
WOODSTOCK, ON – Sherri Stevens, President of Stevens Resource Group Inc., a regional Human Resources firm placed 27th in the 8th Annual PROFIT W100 ranking of Canada’s Top Women Entrepreneurs. The Annual PROFIT W100 rankings are compiled by the magazine PROFIT: Your Guide to Business Success.
Ranking Canada’s Top Women Entrepreneurs by the annual revenue of their firms, the PROFIT W100 profiles the country’s most successful female business owners. Published in the November issue of PROFIT and online at PROFITguide.com, the PROFIT W100 is Canada’s largest annual celebration of entrepreneurial achievement by women.
The PROFIT ranking comes just less than a year after Stevens received the first ever RBC Momentum Award at the Canadian Woman Entrepreneur Awards (CWEA), an event that provides national recognition to Canada’s women entrepreneurs.
Stevens attributes much of the successful growth of her company to her dynamic team; she firmly believes in the collective strength of people. Stevens discovered that another key factor to successful growth is delegation. “There comes a point when you don’t have a choice; otherwise, you won’t grow.” Stevens’ team remains on-board through the sharing of her strategic growth plans. “It’s important not only to share your vision if you want to grow, but also to show what the growth potential will mean to your employees.”
“The PROFIT W100 are role models for entrepreneurs who lead companies of any size, in any sector” says Ian Portsmouth, editor of PROFIT. “Through effective Management, they’ve built profitable, sustainable businesses.”
