These top CEOs help employ over 3,000 workers in the Greater Baltimore area; 2013 is the 5th year of the Circle of Excellence program.
Tony was chosen as the winner of the Minority Owned Business category because he has led the commercial furniture company ahead of its 3 year business plan of growth, while increasing the business revenues by 98 percent.
Over the past 15 years Edwards & Hill Office Furniture has reinvented itself from a Communications marketing/event company to a commercial furniture business that sells and installs furniture for schools, laboratories, healthcare facilities, the hospitality industry and commercial offices. Tony and Hans Edwards (business partner) have taken on big interior design projects like the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. During this hospitality project, Tony and Hans team installed a total of 2,000 guests rooms, 74 guest rooms every 24 hours, during 36-hour shifts to complete the project on time.
But that’s not the only reason Tony is a business leader of excellence; he is also an outstanding community leader.
Edwards & Hill Office Furniture has supplied the non-profit Young Audiences with $70,000 worth of furniture and interior design services to furnish the non-profit organization’s new offices.
