Singer Valve Inc wins Surrey Board of Trade 3rd Annual Export Award
International Trade - Int'l Trade Dinner
Surrey’s business community gathered on Wednesday, April 8th to celebrate the success of local export companies. The Surrey Board of Trade’s 3rd Annual International Trade and Surrey Export Award Dinner brought together the many influential players doing business internationally.

Speakers included Stephen Branch, Vice President of Marketing for Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers; Mr. Phillip Chicola, Consul General of the USA; and John Treleaven, Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and President of the Treleavan Consulting Group. The speakers brought great enthusiasm to the group, stating that the evening’s nominees for success in international trade were, “just the tip of the iceberg” for Surrey and that this city could expect great things in the near future. Much of the conversation throughout the evening was centered around the message that Surrey’s exporters are ready and open for business!

Another message that was key to the event and to all businesses is that despite the recession, there are opportunities in the global economy to sell your product and business. Don’t let the ‘R’ word distract you from your goal.

The five successful nominees were Analytic Systems, Crawford Creek Lumber Ltd., Patton and Cooke Company, Singer Valve Inc. and Wizard IT Services.

Ultimately, it was Singer Valve Inc. that took home the Surrey Export Award! Singer Valve Inc. designs, manufactures and exports quality automatic control valves.  The company plays a significant role in global water conservation.
