Bravo Awards (asi/41638) announces that principal Brian Starke retired in September after 20 years in the promotional products industry. Greg Livings will remain with the company as principal owner and CEO, continuing to oversee the 45% growth that the company has achieved over the last three years.

“Bravo will continue to operate and deliver as it has since the beginning, with the innovative creativity, concierge-level customer service, competitive pricing and superior delivery efficiencies our clients have come to expect,” Livings said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more excited about our upcoming plans for Bravo’s future, which will further solidify its place as an industry leader in the awards and recognition category.”

Starke founded the company in 1999 with Livings to focus on the corporate recognition market. “I’m thankful to everyone I’ve met along the way,” he said in a statement. “I would like to thank the incredible team of people who make Bravo the greatest place to work and the distributors who have trusted us with their recognition business over the years. There are so many wonderful people in the industry who have become like best friends to me.”
