Bray & Co. Real Estate based in Grand Junction was among the winners of an annual awards program recognizing Colorado companies.

Bray & Co. was a Top Company in the real estate sector in the program conducted by ColoradoBiz magazine.

 Bray & Co. was one of two Western Slope firms among the winners of 14 categories.  Growing Spaces, a garden building supplier based in Pagosa Springs, won in the manufacturing category.

“We are deeply honored to receive this recognition,” said Michelle Urlacher, president of Bray & Co. “Since our very beginning as a small, two-person company on the front porch of Sherman and Roxie Bray’s house through our growth today, we have adhered closely to our values. We are driven to meet the needs of our clients by providing an exceptional experience and very honored to be recognized for our amazing people here at Bray & Co.”

ColoradoBiz magazine received hundreds of entries in the 35th Top Companies program. To be eligible, companies must be based in Colorado or show significant business presence in the state. The editorial board of the magazine and two representatives from the business community served as the judging panel. Entrants were judged on three criteria: outstanding achievement, financial performance and community involvement.
