DRYCLEANER OF THE YEAR

On august 18, At the President’s Reception held with the CCA Fabricare ‘18 Show, CCA presented its annual awards for both the Drycleaner of the Year and The Allied Trades person of the year.

The 2018 Recipient was Sajid Veera of Door to Door Valet. CCA presents the award to individuals who have shown extraordinary commitment to forwarding both the Association as well as the industry at large.

“Sajid has been a long time member of CCA and has been a great ambassador of the industry for years”, offered last year’s recipient, Jim Douglas of Prestige Cleaners. “We felt it was very fitting to honor him and his family on their 25th anniversary in business. They are a true asset to the industry and their professionalism makes them a worthy recipient.”

“This is a very prestigious award,” offered CCA Fabricare Committee Chair, David Suber, “and we are always looking for the best candidates. We want to highlight an outstanding dry cleaner that has worked to better CCA, but has also helped the drycleaning industry and their peers. I think Sajid , and his whole family, should be proud of what they have accomplished. They run a terrific business, and have an impeccable reputation.”

     

Allied trades Person of the Year 

Mario Villaruz of Kelleher Equipment Supply was selected as this year’s recipient of the CCA “Allied Trades Person of the Year”.

CCA presents its “Allied Trades Person of the Year” award to individuals who have shown extraordinary commitment to forwarding both the Association and the industry. The CCA selection committee felt strongly that Mario embodied the true spirit of the award.

"This was a perfect choice,” offered Jackie Smith, CCA Board member, “and one that was supported by everyone. Mario is a hallmark in the industry and he has been instrumental in helping many CCA members through some tough times. He is always there, ready to help and always with the best attitude.

“With awards like this,” observed Peter Blake, CCA Executive Director, it is usually the owners of the company, or the local representative that deals with the Board and Staff of an organization that gets noticed, but often times it is the worker who goes out of his way to do a good job that should get recognized. As it is in this case. I have never seen someone so happy, and so pleased to be recognized for all his hard work. I salute Mario -- and I look forward to working with him in the future.”
