Today, Alignable’s network of 7.8 million small business owners has chosen James Shanks of Jaxcom as Kensington’s 2023 Business Person Of The Year!
The 2023 contest is the most popular competition Alignable has hosted in five years, marking a 61% jump in participation over 2022. All told, 3,750 communities across the U.S. and Canada selected 3,976 winners this year (including ties). That’s an increase of 1,400+ additional Local Business People Of The Year compared to 2022.
Supporting Each Other Is Key
As the recipient of the Alignable Local Business Person of the Year award for 2023, I cannot express how grateful and humbled I am to receive such an honor. It is truly a privilege to be recognized by the community for the hard work and dedication that goes into running a business.
I would like to extend a special thanks to my team members, Clifford, Zack, Paschal, and Daniel, who have supported me every step of the way. Without their dedication, commitment, and hard work, this achievement would not have been possible. I am grateful for their contributions, and I am honored to work alongside such a talented group of individuals.
This award is not only a recognition of past accomplishments but also a reminder of the importance of continuing to strive for excellence. As we move forward, my hope is to continue building a better, stronger Jaxcom that not only meets the needs of our customers but also contributes to the betterment of our community.
Once again, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for this honor and extend my thanks to everyone who has supported me and my business. Let us all continue to work together to build a brighter future for our community.
James Shanks, CEO, Jaxcom
