Burger Boat names Bill Pauwels Associate of Year

Manitowoc's Burger Boat Company has named Bill Pauwels its 2018 Associate of the Year.

Pauwels, who began at Burger Boat more than 18 years ago, is a Joinery Department coordinator. He helps oversee much of the joiner work adorning each new yacht.

Pauwels was recently named a Top 4 finalist in the Quantum Marine-sponsored International Superyacht Society Artisan Award presented last October during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

The company said in a press release that Pauwels was instrumental during the construction of the NORTHLAND, a finalist in its categories at the Boat International World Superyacht Awards, the Boat International Design and Innovation Awards, and the International Superyacht Society Awards of Distinction. The release said he was also a significant contributor in the construction of the first Burger 48 Cruiser, BLUE BOAT HOME.

“We believe it’s important that clients get to know the individuals building their yachts,” said Jim Ruffolo, president and CEO of Burger Boat Company. “It helps build trust and respect for everyone involved in the construction of each new yacht. Bill is an incredible example of the talent and dedication our customers can expect from our team of exceptional shipbuilders. We’re proud to celebrate his work with this award.”

Pauwels lives with his family in Whitelaw.

Acuity has doubled its top-line revenue in the past eight years and is ranked as the 56th largest of 2,600 property-casualty insurance companies in the nation.

The insurer’s ninth straight year of premium expansion came from balanced growth across personal and commercial lines and throughout its entire operating territory, the release said.
