Recommendation Letter for Butcher Box

To Whom It May Concern:

My wife and I always look forward to and count down the days until our next Butcher Box delivery.

Butcher Box provides families all over Ontario and Quebec with locally sourced, naturally raised, chemical free, 100% grass fed, 100% grass finished beef, AAA beef, Ontario premium pork; air-chilled, grain-fed, free run poultry raised without and hormones or steroids and wild seafood.

We have been satisfied Butcher Box customers since early 2019. When I made the decision to place more focus on my health, I was looking for food options that were safe, clean, and locally sourced. As a result, I adopted the Keto diet/lifestyle of eating, Butcher Box fit this perfectly. By eating real food that is not full of artificial additives, steroids, or hormones I can feel the improvements in my health. I was able to lose 25 pounds and keep it off to this day and I know Butcher Box has played a key role.

We love the 100% grass fed, 100% grass finished, Ribeye steaks. Not only are the health benefits great, but the taste is also amazing. I am an avid griller and use my BBQ year-round. The consistent quality of these steaks makes grilling a true pleasure.
As I increase my knowledge about healthy eating and how food is typically raised and processed, my satisfaction with Butcher Box continues to grow. Knowing that Butcher Box’s products are locally sourced and ethically raised gives me great comfort in the food we eat.

I would recommend Butcher Box with joy to anyone looking for convenient, healthy, and locally sourced cuts of meat that they would be proud to serve to their family.

Yours truly,

Michael Barnick

SM Spotlight Wendy Ellen Inc.

Many businesses require human resources solutions, without the need or ability to fund a full time HR team–that’s where Wendy Ellen Inc. comes in.

Founded in 2005, Wendy Ellen Inc. specializes in helping small to medium-sized businesses who only need part time human resource support either onsite at their business or remotely. This includes clients around the world and across all industries, from North America to Eurasia.

“We consult in all aspects of HR… We are like an external HR department,” Wendy Giuffre, the president and principal consultant for Wendy Ellen Inc., said.

From the oil and gas industry, to airports, to construction companies, to not-for-profits, and more, Wendy Ellen Inc has successfully implemented individualized HR solutions for an extremely diverse client base. It specializes in all aspects of human resources; on the ground with employees, assistance during a merger and acquisition process, recruitment services, management advisory and coaching, payroll services, and much more.

Unlike many human resources firms, Wendy Ellen Inc. doesn’t sell pre-designed service packages or ask you to sign a contract that may not fit your needs down the road. It also puts a strong emphasis on providing personal service.

“We are very responsive, and we aren’t industry specific,” Giuffre said. “Our consultants really get to know the people and leadership.”Wendy-Ellen-Pendergast

Every business that works with Wendy Ellen Inc. works with one of its twelve consultants, who develops an individualized approach to help their business. In this sense, being on retainer with Wendy Ellen Inc. is much more akin to having an internal human resources department, in terms of authenticity and familiarity.

“[We’re] the only best HR practice you’ll ever need,” she said, which is also the title of the book she and her partner, Ashley Kieboom wrote in 2019.

Over the years Wendy Ellen Inc. has been able to grow organically through word of mouth and advertising, and Giuffre hopes the company will continue to grow in the future by continuing to provide excellent service and adding to the list of services it provides.

Most recently, Wendy Ellen Inc. began offering mediation as another method of bringing their clients the best possible human resources practices.

SM Spotlight Alberta Business Sales

Are you new to the business world and looking to buy into an established company? Are you a business owner ready to sell to the right new entrepreneur? Alberta Business Sales can take the stress out of this process and prepare you for the next step in your career.

Alberta Business Sales is a full-service business brokerage that serves clients across Alberta. It offers its services for the transfer of all necessary aspects of a business sale, such as shares, assets and real estate. It also strictly regulates its client intake so each buyer and seller they work with gets the team’s best efforts.

“We put together motivated business sellers with excited business buyers,” Business Broker Sharon Shore said.Alberta-Business-Sales-Pendergast

For over a decade, Neil Gerritsen, who has over 30 years of experience in the finance and business world, has run the company from its primary office in Edmonton.

In 2021, Alberta Business Sales opened its Calgary office under the expertise of Sharon Shore. The hope is that this will allow Alberta Business Sales to continue to expand by serving businesses in Saskatchewan and British Columbia as well and becoming Western Canada’s premier business brokerage.

Although, Alberta Business Sales serves clients province wide, it has a small firm, boutique feel, and customer service is an absolute priority. It takes pride in answering every call and email and ensuring its clients’ needs are being met.

“We take good care of our clients,” Shore said. “We really want to help buyers and sellers avoid the pitfalls that happen in the transition of buying and selling.”

Many clients approach Alberta Business Sales with a lot of big questions. How do they exit their business properly? Will it survive without them? The team at Alberta Business Sales can help coach and prepare sellers and buyers alike in the process of getting from point A to point B and move onto the next step in their career.

Even if they aren’t looking to buy or sell right away, but rather want to build a plan to do so in the future, Alberta Business Sales can help them optimize the experience and come up with the best strategy. They can also help buyers find the right financing plan to purchase a business, which is often the biggest reason potential buyers are scared off.
