Success Awards
Verde Valley/Sedona businesses honored for their achievements
The Annual Success Awards event was hosted April 14 by the Arizona Small Business Development Network at the Arizona Capitol lawn April 14th 2022. The event was to honor businesses from across the state.
The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Yavapai Community College honored three Success Award Winners this year from its region because of the cancellation of the 2020 and 2021 events.
Those who were awarded for their entrepreneurial success were the following: Bryan and Lema Nowicki, owners of Farm A Go Go in Cornville; Adam and Chris Bean of TAC Fabrication in Cottonwood; and Anita Marcus, owner of LaserGirl Skincare Superhero™ with locations in Prescott and Sedona.
These entrepreneurs were described as contributing greatly “to our area economy, growing their businesses in spite of the challenges brought on by the pandemic.”
Farm A Go Go owners Lema and Bryan Nowicki started their business with minimal resources and a vision of a true Farm to Table experience in rural Arizona. They grew their business through one of the most challenging times for small businesses. They were able to reframe their product delivery and retain their employees, never wavering from their core values, now establishing themselves as a real Farm to Table destination.
TAC Fabrication owners Adam Bean and Chris Bean were recognized for their outstanding business achievement and expansion efforts in the region. Both are experienced welders and metal fabricators. Their team has grown the company with welding, CNC plasma cutting, sheet metal bending, tubular structure and general fabrication services, and meeting exponential demand for fabrication across Arizona.
LaserGirl Skincare Superhero™ owner Anita Marcus worked tirelessly to build and expand her brand and services. Through her growing business now in two locations, she provides what is described as “exceptional care and attention to a long list of clients, particularly those with extreme skin problems that other medical treatments have left unresolved.” She has also established key relationships with medical professionals who value her ethical standards and dedication to effective solutions for patients’ specific medical needs.
The three Award winners worked with the Yavapai Community College SBDC team, on multiple aspects of their business including marketing, branding, expansion, organization, and strategy, to name a few.
