A local company could scoop up a pair of prestigious awards, one for all of B.C., the other for Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows.

Left, an Internet company, is one of the top-five finalists in Small Business B.C.’s Best Workplace award.

It’s also a Business of the Year finalist in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards.

The company located in the Maple Meadows Industrial Park, just previously known as Left of the Dot Media, was formed in 2010 by Chris Jensen and John Lyotier.

It now manages Internet brands and operates YO!, an off-grid messaging and content-delivery application that runs without using data or the Internet and Stays.io, a group of travel rental companies, such as rentbyowner.com, similar to airbnb.

Steven Read, husband of Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read, is CEO of Stays.

Winners of both awards will be announced at the end of February.
