Two ABC Delaware members honored Service Unlimited named 2012 Commercial HVAC Contractor of the Year by Contracting Business.com The editors of Contracting Business.com — a leading, national publication for resi- dential and commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) contractors, have named Service Unlimited, of New Castle, DE, as the Contracting Business.com 2012 Commercial HVAC Contractor of the Year. Now in its 30th year, the Contracting Business.com Commercial HVAC Contractor of the Year Award is presented to a leading, commercial HVAC contracting firm that upholds high standards of excellence related to customer service, HVAC system installation and maintenance, business management, growth strategies, community service, and contributions to the HVAC industry. Richard “Dick” Wolf and Eugene Gaumer incorporated Service Unlimited in 1962. By 1964, SUI employed 15 people and was running 10 trucks. It moved to a three-story, 9,000 sq. ft. building with ample room for a sheet metal shop, storage, and service department. The business continued to grow. Since 1997, SUI has operated out of a 20,000 sq. ft. facility in New Castle, large enough for a shop, warehouse, and 50 full- time employees. In 1986, with the passing of Dick Wolf, his son Carl —working fulltime at the company since 1970 — assumed full ownership of SUI. Emory Hill named Goodwill’s Business Partner of the Year Goodwill of Delaware & Delaware County, Inc. has just announced that it has chosen Emory Hill Companies as its 2011 Business Partner of the Year. The award is presented to a business organization that “demonstrates exceptional support of the Goodwill mission – to improve the lives of people with barriers to self- sufficiency through the Power of Work,” said Ted Van Name, Goodwill President and CEO. “We are grateful for your (Emory Hill’s) commitment to Goodwill and are proud to honor you with this award.” The award will be presented at the 2012 Goodwill Awards Luncheon on Friday, April 27 at the Chase Center on the Riverfront in Wilmington. “We appreciate all of the opportunities Goodwill has given us – not only in doing busi- ness with them but being able to contribute to their mission through the opportunities they have provided us to serve them,” said Emory Hill Business Development Director Bob Liberato. “We look forward to continuing our relationship with Goodwill and we are honored to be chosen as the 2011 Business Partner of the Year.” Emory Hill & Company, the firm’s commercial construction division, has constructed or remodeled over ten Goodwill facilities in Delaware and Pennsylvania including the remodeling of the Goodwill Center on Lea Boulevard in Wilmington. NAI Emory Hill, the firm’s brokerage division, has also been involved in the leasing of several stores as well as the new Goodwill warehouse at Centerpoint Industrial Park in New Castle according to NAI Emory Hill agent Edd Connor.
