For the second year in a row Findaway World was recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in Northeast Ohio by winning the Weatherhead 100 award. The Weatherhead 100 has been a leading honor bestowed on Northeast Ohio businesses that have contributed to our region’s rebirth by realizing incredible growth for five consecutive years despite the challenging economic times.  Winners are recognized for contributions to their communities and their demonstrated strength of the entrepreneurial spirit. “We are proud to be recognized by Weatherhead 100 two years in a row,” stated our CEO, Mitch Kroll. “The credit goes to our dedicated team, collectively known of as Findawayers, and our unequalled commitment to our customers, publishing partners, and suppliers.”

For the 3^rd consecutive year, Findaway World has been awarded a prestigious spot on the NorthCoast 99 “Best Places to Work in Northeast Ohio” List! For those of who are unaware, NorthCoast 99 is an annual recognition program that showcases 99 great workplaces for top talent in Northeast Ohio. We’re thrilled to be honored with this recognition for yet another year, and know that we continue to be on the list because of our entire Findawayer family.  Congrats!

Findaway World’s Creative Team created a 5ive Capsule in our main café to recognize our 5th anniversary. This Capsule is more than just a swanky design; it showcases Findawayer artifacts that are near and dear to our hearts.

Congrats to our Creative Team is in order, as the 5ive Capsule was recognized in the 2011 AIGA Cleveland Design Competition. The competition features the regions very best in graphic design, identity, publication, interactive and 3D Design both from students to independent freelancers, in-house creatives and design shops. The capsule was one of three pieces recognized within the 3D Design category! Go team!

Findaway World received 1 of 33  awards for World Class Customer Service by Smart Business Magazine, and was 1 of 11 companies to receive an additional Special Category Award: Above & Beyond World Class Service. While previous awards have focused on business growth, best workplace and innovation, the Above & Beyond World Class Service recognition was very special in that it acknowledged our deepest commitment to our customers and the value we place on our partnerships.  Without these relationships, Findaway World would not be the company we are today. Thank you!
