NexTier Bank Receives BBB’s “2008 Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics”
PITTSBURGH (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) November 21, 2008 --
NexTier Bank has received recognition that is especially fitting for its
130th anniversary in 2008. The Better Business Bureau of
Western Pennsylvania (BBB) recently selected NexTier Bank as a winner of
its prestigious “2008 Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics” in the large
business category.
Each year, the BBB recognizes three businesses within its 28-county
service area that maintain a solid commitment to conducting ethical
business practices. Winners in the smaller business categories were
AquaGuard Systems Inc., Pittsburgh, PA and Energy Swing Windows, Inc.,
Murrysville, PA.
An independent academic panel selects companies for their exceptional
conduct in the marketplace, according to Warren King, BBB president. He
added that winning companies clearly demonstrate superior character on a
daily basis and consistently exceeds marketplace standards for ethics in
its relationships with customers, employees, suppliers, industry peers
and the communities in which it does business.
“When my great-grandfather founded the bank 130 years ago, we were known
as the Bank Built on a Handshake. I’m extremely proud that we’ve
received this award so many decades later - it means we’ve upheld our
original values of integrity and honorable business practices,” said
Margaret Irvine Weir, NexTier Bank president. “It also means that our
customers, communities, associates and vendors can count on us as much
today and tomorrow as they have in the past.”
