REDEMPTION PLUS VOTED TOP 10 SMALL BUSINESS
LENEXA, KS (May 27, 2008) – Redemption Plus, a value-added distributor of redemption
merchandise and management consulting for the family entertainment and learning center
markets, was named one of the Top 10 Small Businesses by the Greater Kansas City Chamber of
Commerce.
The Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce has been recognizing the importance of small
business for 22 years in what has now become the largest celebration of its kind in the United
States. Candidates must be for-profit businesses headquartered in the Greater Kansas City area
that have no more than 250 full-time equivalent employees; they also must have grown and/or
sustained their number of employees and sales over the past three years. More importantly, each
company is judged based on the philosophies of Ewing Marion Kauffman, the award’s
namesake; he is one of Kansas City’s most well-known and admired entrepreneurs. His
principles focus on a commitment to virtuous business practices, excellent employee relations,
and community service. Redemption Plus was selected from a record 151 candidates and more
than 1400 nominations.
Ron Hill, President of Redemption Plus, had the vision of creating a company that was a great
place to work and where employees could integrate their lives. He feels very strongly that you
need to give back to the community which supports you; he hopes to not only make a difference
as a company, but to educate and inspire employees to do the same. He believes that
Redemption Plus’ strength lies in innovation and seeing solutions that let them streamline their
customers’ businesses. This innovation has allowed them to compete with companies much
larger, while actually changing the way the industry does business. These three prevailing
themes, helping their employees live richer lives, giving back to the community which supports
them, and helping their customers increase their profitability, are what made Redemption Plus a
Top 10 Small Business. |
