| They are the Champions, Richard and Frances from the Argosy claim the Best Marketer award at the BC Small Business Awards |
One of the two Prince Rupert businesses that made it to the top Five of the BC Small Business Awards has completed that journey with an Award.
As the Third Avenue shop The Argosy claimed the top spot last night in their category of Best Marketer, the energetic entrepreneurs hailed for their work as part of an impressive celebration show in Vancouver .
The Argosy duo received their award at the gala presentation at the Pan Pacific Hotel, bringing to an end a fpir month period that saw more than 525 nominations from across the province entered in the competition.
As the weeks went by and the competition moved through its process, that list was whittled down to five finalists per category, with Prince Rupert's Argosy and Wheelhouse Brewing Company cracking the final rankings.
From there, a Dragon Den's style process took place with the two Rupert groups making a presentation for a panel of industry experts and leading entrepreneurs.
Whatever it was that from the Argosy said resonated with that panel, with the reward from their preparation and presentation delivered on the stage at the Pan Pacific last night.

Richard and Frances were quick to their twitter feed last night with the good news, and friends and satisfied customers were quick to load up their Facebook page with best wishes from far and near.
For the Wheelhouse gang it was a case of coming close and gaining some valuable exposure for the brand, not to mention a world of experience and network connections for the future.
