CareGivers Executive Director Honored with Prestigious CEO Award

Atlantic Business Magazine has named Anne Whelan, Executive Director of CareGivers, to the Top 50 CEO list for 2011. The Top 50 CEO Awards recognize the most accomplished business leaders in Atlantic Canada. Whelan accepted the award during a ceremony on Wednesday, May 18th.

This year’s event, hosted by Mark Critch with a keynote address by Danny Williams, is Atlantic Canada’s premiere celebration of corporate leadership excellence. Winners are chosen because of their corporate, community and industry involvement, their company’s growth in recent years, and, their responses to various managerial challenges.

Whelan attributed the success of CareGivers to the company’s commitment to its employees, clients and families. “Relationships are at the heart of everything we do, we work hard to meet the needs of our clients while challenging ourselves to integrate best practice models as our way of doing business.”

As CEO of CareGivers since 2001, Anne Whelan has expanded the company to include residential care, clinic and concierge services. In 2009, Whelan also acquired BrenKir Industrial Supply, a Newfoundland company which supplies fire, safety and industrial products. BrenKir has three locations in Placentia, Marystown, and Mount Pearl.
