2017 CBDC Western PEI Business Award of Distinction - Stewart Enterprises
At a young age, Larry Stewart began working around the shop of his family owned business. Located in West Point, PEI, Stewart Enterprises Ltd was established in 1974 by John Stewart, Larry’s father. Presently, Stewart Enterprises Ltd, under the ownership of Larry Stewart, engages primarily in earth work, such as shale, gravel, sand, as well as scrap metal work and hydro seeding for highway construction projects. Stewart Enterprises Ltd currently employs up to 12 staff during their busy season or for larger projects. This is certainly a remarkable story of succession. It is apparent that Larry possesses innovative and entrepreneurial skills, as he is always thinking of new ideas and diverse initiatives. There is no denying that this business has evolved over time and continues to change and diversify as demand and economic conditions change. Throughout the changes in their business, CBDC has provided financing during various phases of the business. Larry has stated that “CBDCs are easy to work with and are flexible. They have a big heart when it comes to small business”.
