VoIP Supply has made the 2011 list of Western New York’s Top CEO’s making this the seventh straight year that VoIP Supply has been named one of the region’s top private companies. 

The newly named Top CEO’s award, formerly known as Western New York’s Top 100 Private Companies, celebrates the men and women through whose leadership their companies not only remain at the top but contribute so much to WNY’s economy and quality of life. 

VoIP Supply occupied the modest 96^th ranking in 2005 when the company was first named to the Top 100 WNY Private Companies list.  But after six consecutive years of nominations, VoIP Supply climbed to the 56^th position in 2010. 

This year, for the seventh straight time, VoIP Supply joined the other Top CEO’s for a reception at Salvatore’s Italian Gardens on November 17, 2011 as the 50th top private company in the region. 

“Being named to the Top CEO’s List for leading one of Western New York’s top private companies is a tremendous honor for everyone at VoIP Supply,” said Benjamin P. Sayers, President and CEO of VoIP Supply. “Continuing to move up the list every year is testament to the value we deliver to our customers, and proof that Western New York is a place of positive business growth.”

The list of Western New York’s top CEO’s/Top Private Companies is compiled by Buffalo Business First and Dopkins & Company, LLP.

With Thanksgiving less than a month away the Buffalo City Mission was still short of its holiday assistance goal.  Desperately needing more generosity, VoIP Supply answered the call and donated 1,000 Thanksgiving meals for the community’s homeless and homebound families.

Aubrey Calhoun, director of public relations-development at Buffalo City Mission, explains that “With over 64.9% of homeless families experiencing homelessness for the first time, our services are needed more than ever due to families struggling to make ends meet.”

Through their Turkey Express and Outreach Ministry programs, The Buffalo City Mission prepares and delivers thousands of dinners to shelter guests, homebound families and senior citizens in addition to distributing donated turkeys to hurting families and individuals within the community.

“We have experienced remarkable success and feel strongly about giving back to the community,” said Garrett Smith, VoIP Supply’s CMO. “Thriving local companies like VoIP Supply have an obligation to be socially responsible and civic aware. We’re happy to help and know that fewer families will go hungry this holiday season. As a company that likes a good challenge, we challenge other Buffalo area companies to match or exceed our commitment this year.”
