Atlantic Coast Electric Supply (ACES), Summerville, SC, held its fifth annual Circle of Distinction dinner and awards ceremony on Feb. 17 at the Embassy Suites in Concord, NC. The event brought together nearly 150 attendees, including suppliers, supplier representative agencies and ACES employees, to celebrate outstanding performance and partnership with ACES in 2025. Ryan Marshall, ACES Purchasing Manager opened the evening by saying, “The Circle of Distinction awards ceremony is our moment to recognize individuals who haven’t just met expectations, they’ve surpassed them. Yes, we hand out trophies but tonight is about something bigger: celebrating the people and partnerships that drive our success.”

Each honored company received a commemorative Circle Award, while every participant was presented with an exclusive ACES challenge coin, symbolizing their valued membership in 2025. The challenge coin, originally a military tradition representing camaraderie and achievement, has become a meaningful way to recognize accomplishment, partnership and excellence in business. ACES started this now tradition at the 2025 awards dinner and hopes the coin continues to serve as a lasting reminder of how essential employees, suppliers and agency partners are to their success.

 

This year’s awards included seven Best in Class categories, along with four major awards for overall performance. While presenting major awards for overall performance, ACES Charleston area manager and VP, Casey Getz said in the press release, “Success doesn’t happen by accident, and it certainly doesn’t happen alone. It’s built day by day through strong relationships, reliable execution, and partners you can count on when it matters most.”
