Staples Names Kerry Small Business Champ
Staples, the Framingham-based office supply giant, has named U.S. Sen. John Kerry as their Small Business Champion of the Year.
Kerry, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, was recognized for helping to increase funding for small business programs, energy efficiency resources, women's business centers and military projects at small firms last year, as well as making the Transportation Security Administration's contracting process more transparent.
Staples began as a Brighton start-up in 1986 and used the Small Business Investment Company program managed by the U.S. Small Business Administration to fund its initial expansion.
