Garnet Hill ‘a beacon of good business’

June 20, 2008

NH Business Review Staff,

To the editor:

Congratulations on the new “look” of The New Hampshire Business Review. The format is clean, concise and easily enjoyed. It is evident your team worked hard on the redesign and the result will be appreciated by your readers.

Thanks also for taking the time to highlight a beacon of good business in New Hampshire’s North Country. The story by Elizabeth Penney on Garnet Hill (June 6-13 NHBR) was extremely well done and accurate. I had the pleasure of meeting Russ Gaitskill and his team and was impressed with their commitment to their community, their customers and a service model for that is the envy of their industry.

The creative Garnet Hill team is proof that nice folks do not finish last. New Hampshire is fortunate to have them as respected corporate citizens.
