The Georgia Restaurant Association Crystal of Excellence Awards named Savannah Bee Company a finalist for Industry Partner of the Year.
The GRACE Awards were held at the Georgia Aquarium on Sept. 27 with a cocktail reception, followed by dinner and awards with about 500 guests in attendance. The ceremony featured Andre Dickens, Atlanta’s mayor, who gave a speech given under the stingray tank in conjunction with a montage of videos, one of which included Savannah Bee Company and its inspiring story.
The GRACE Awards honor key players, both new and seasoned, in Georgia’s restaurant industry. Finally returning after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID pandemic, the GRACE Awards announced its finalists in August.
The finalists for Industry Partner of the Year were Goliath Consulting Group, Melissa Libby & Associates and the Savannah Bee Company. Winners were awarded a handcrafted, crystal trophy created by local artist Hans-Godo Frabel.
