The Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce held their annual Small Business of the Year luncheon at Henderson Country Club on Wednesday, May 2.
Vance County Commissioner Archie Taylor, Jr. served as speaker for the luncheon. A 2017 Small Business of the Year award was presented to one business from each of the counties represented in the four-county service area.
Receiving this year’s awards were J.M. White Funeral Home – Vance County; Granville Insurance Agency, Inc. – Granville County; Winslow Custom Homes – Franklin County; and Robinson Ferry Restaurant & Spirits – Warren County.
J.M. White Funeral Home is a locally owned business that has been serving the community since 1967. The business is currently managed by Betty White and her sons Scott and Jerry White.
In a phone call to Betty White, she said she and her staff were very honored to receive the award and “are grateful to have served the community for 51 years.”
“This honor would not be possible without the dedication of our staff who give the very best service as they interact with those who have lost loved ones,” White said.
The funeral home has been a long-time Chamber member and supporter, a part of the North Carolina Funeral Director’s Association and active in local organizations.
“We are so appreciative to the citizens of Vance County for their support through the years,” White said. “What an honor for both our family and staff.”

Don’t miss out on this Lunch and Learn on Wednesday, May 16 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce Office, 414 S. Garnett Street, Henderson.
In a small business where the owner’s time may be limited, the wellness of the owner can either help build a strong business or cause it to suffer. While it is not always possible to avoid getting sick, taking preventative measures can help to lower your downtime and can ultimately increase your businesses’ productivity.
Small business owners are known to run themselves ragged, so keeping good health is so important. You will learn how to avoid toxic food ingredients and discover how to eat healthy and stock up on the foods you love.
This seminar is an excellent opportunity to learn how great health can positively affect your small business. Lunch provided to the first 20 who preregister.
Speaker(s): Dr. Brandon Taylor
