Dexter, MO - The Dexter Chamber of Commerce held its annual awards banquet on Friday, March 4, 2022 at The Lair Event Center. The meal was catered by Dhafer's Mediterranean Steakhouse. Both Representative Herman Morse and Senator Jason Bean were on hand to present resolutions to the award recipients.
Dustin Mayor presented the 2021 Industry of the Year to Rick Shipman Construction.
"Rick Shipman Construction was established in 1991. Throughout its thirty years, this company has been able to employ hundreds, currently having over 120 employees. "
"From commercial, industrial, and retail construction to remodels or retrofits, Rick Shipman Construction contracts services nationwide and has completed projects in nearly all 50 states."
"A few of their most known projects include newly builts and remodels of Walmart stores, Sam's Club stores, and Love's Convenience Stores. Rick Shipman Construction's growth is evident in our community.
"Instead of housing their employees in different locations, they recently built a new building to accommodate everyone under the same roof.
"During their recent building dedication, Rick Shipman dedicated the building to the Lord. To symbolize this dedication, the Christian flag flies in front of the building. It is very humbling to not only know, but to see a business so graciously acknowledge the Lord's presence."
Rick was unable to attend tonight due to a prior commitment.
Congratulations to Rick Shipman Construction on the Dexter Chamber of Commerce 2021 Industry of the Year!
