Two London companies and a Windsor business have been named finalists for the Better Business Bureau of Western Ontario?s 15th annual Business Integrity Awards.
An independent committee will choose a winner based on high ethical standards in areas such as marketing practices, customer service and employee treatment. Companies must be in business for five years before they can be considered for the award.
The winner will be announced at an awards breakfast Wednesday that also will feature a panel discussion with three past winners about the importance of integrity in businesses.
The winner will get a $2,500 scholarship, courtesy of the Rotary Club of London Foundation, to be given to a student of their choice attending a post-secondary institution.

Name: Campbell Bros. Movers Ltd.
Location: London
Established: 1890s
It?s been a remarkable year for Campbell Bros. Movers Ltd., a family-owned company that?s been helping people move for five generations.
This year, the company was a finalist for the London Chamber of Commerce business of the year award and the firm has been working to expand or establish new businesses across Ontario and Atlantic Canada.
Campbell Bros. Movers also is the largest shareholder in United Van Lines, a nationwide network of companies that has a 40% market share in long-distance moving. More than a moving company, the business has expanded into storage, real estate and relocation services.
?We are extremely honoured to be nominated for this award. The service the Better Business Bureau offers to the public in our industry is important, as most of our consumers use our service infrequently; therefore a third-party opinion they can trust to evaluate is invaluable to the consumer.?
