He told those attending the annual general meeting of the Community Business Development Corporation (CBDC) Long Range that the company has grown from five to 18 employees and has had a direct impact on the community.

Mr. Flynn accepted the CBDCs 2013 Business Award of Distinction at Dhoon Lodge in Black Duck Siding. This year there were three nominations for this years award and BDW Roofing was chosen as winner.

When it comes down to it, CBDC really got this company going, said Mr. Flynn.

When Robert (White), the owner-operator, wanted to branch out on his own, he went to CBDC for guidance and support.

He said the roofing company is very safety conscious, with roofers that take great pride in their quality workmanship.

Mr. Flynn said since BDW got its bonding status last year, theyve been flat out doing large jobs and public tender work for everything from schools to municipal and government facilities.

In addition to roofing, they are also into asbestos abatement, mold detection and removal and infection control and do work all around the province.
