Clint Dudley, owner of Shade Tree Auto commented: “Being named Company of the Year by the International Business Awards is truly a shared honor.

We’re so fortunate to have all of that in Shade Tree Auto.”

Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 270 executives worldwide who participated on 12 juries.

“This year’s Stevie Award winners in the IBAs are the most distinguished group of winners we’ve had yet,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “We raised the minimum average score from the judges required to qualify as a Stevie winner, so 2018 winners should be especially proud of their achievements.
