Cincinnati, OH – October 5, 2004 – VESTA
Executive Housing has been named a finalist in two categories
in The 2004 Stevie Awards for Women Entrepreneurs. The awards
recognize exceptional performances of women in workplaces
worldwide and are considered the Oscars of business. VESTA
is a finalist in the Best New Company of the Year category
and Best Overall Company of the Year – Service Businesses
category.
VESTA has been recognized, in part, for reinventing the executive
housing industry. The company has created co-branding programs
that puts value added products such as Graeter’s
Ice Cream in every apartment. VESTA has also implemented
a direct access process that matches clients with one VESTA
representative that will assist them during every stay. In
an industry where customers talk to a new representative
for every call, direct access is an innovation that gives
customers a way to contact his or her VESTA representative
day or night and get a response within two hours.
“Being recognized as a finalist in the Stevie Awards
competition is really an added bonus to the successful year
VESTA has
had,” says VESTA Executive Housing Founder and President
Tara Krapes. “We strive to provide the best in service
for all of our clients and this recognition is a testament
of our dedication to being one of the nation’s best
executive housing firms.”
Finalists of the competition are invited to attend the awards
ceremony on October 22, 2004, in New York, NY. Award winners
in each of the 18 Stevie Awards for Women Entrepreneurs will
be announced and presented with the Stevie trophy.
The Stevie Awards have been called “the business world’s
own Oscars” by the New York Post (September 22, 2002).
They are awarded in three programs: The American Business
Awards, The International Business Awards, and The Stevie
Awards for Women Entrepreneurs. Learn more about The
