Granville Today Books Have Arrived
We recently received the third edition of our Granville Today books, a wonderful collaborative effort with the Chamber, local member businesses, and The Daily Dispatch. The book would not be possible without the support of many Chamber member businesses who supported the project by advertising.
We hope everyone will be pleased with the articles about Granville County and the updated information.
2008 SMALL BUSINESS AWARD
Lewis Electric Family (from left to right): Marvin Daniel, Deborah Daniel,
Kim Franklin, Carolyn Wilson, Darrell Wilson, Larry Wilson II, Mildred Wilson and Larry Wilson.
AN AREA CHAMBER event recently recognized small business owners from Granville, Vance, Warren and Franklin Counties for
their accomplishments as small business owners. The luncheon, sponsored by EMBARQ, included Chamber of Commerce
representatives from each of the above mentioned counties and the Small
Business Center of Vance-Granville Community College. The presentation for Granville
County’s winner was made by the 2007 recipient, Brent Stewart of The House of Ribeyes.
Stewart recognized Mrs. Mildred Wilson and her grandson, “Little” Larry, for the
presentation.
Lewis Electric of Oxford, Inc., which began their operation around 1946, was founded
by Ben and Alma Lewis. The company was purchased and incorporated in 1960 by
J. Nelson and Mildred Wilson. At that time, Lewis Electric provided residential electrical
and plumbing services.
Over the years, the company has evolved into Lewis Electric of Oxford, Inc., providing
strictly electrical contracting services. They provide services in residential, commercial,
industrial and institutional fields.
It is a fourth generation family business, currently a woman owned minority business,
headed by Carolyn E. Wilson. The company family tree is: J. N. Wilson, father, 1st generation;
J. L. Wilson, son, 2nd generation; J. L. Wilson II, grandson, 3rd generation; and
Darrell S. Wilson, great-grandson, 4th generation.
Respect, quality, promptness and affordable service are the mainstays of their business.
Lewis Electric of Oxford, Inc. is a small, but very capable business. They take pride
in their work and their company.
Involvement in the community includes: Rotary Club volunteer work; Alive After
Five sponsor, and membership and participation in the Granville County Chamber of
Commerce.
The Small Business Week event included a presentation by Chamber member Mike
McConchie entitled “Grow Your Business In Tough Economic Times.” It was sponsored
by the Small Business Center of VGCC. Door prizes were provided from each of the four
Chamber counties, including FRAMED and STOVALL GIFTS from Granville County.
