I look at our Rising Star of the Year award every day, and it reminds me how much I have to be thankful for. Winning it last year was a special moment for South Shore Fences and something I’ll always appreciate. It makes me think of the customers, family, friends, and community who have supported us along the way. That reminder keeps me motivated to work hard and earn the trust people place in us.
🏆 BEHIND THE WIN | South Shore Fences
What does it mean to win a Yarmouth Business Award? For Kevin Sly, owner of South Shore Fences, it meant knowing his community believed in what he was building.
Our 2025 Rising Star Award recipient reflects on the recognition:
“Winning the Rising Star Award meant so much to me because it showed that our community believed in what we were building at South Shore Fences. Starting a business takes hard work and a leap of faith, and that recognition gave me even more confidence to keep moving forward. I’m proud of how far we’ve come and grateful to our team, our customers, and everyone who has supported us along the way.”
That confidence is part of what makes these awards matter. Behind every win are people taking chances, putting in the work, and building businesses our region can be proud of.
As we look ahead to the 2026 Yarmouth Business Awards, presented by RBC and Doane Grant Thornton, we’re celebrating the stories behind last year’s winners—and the people who helped them get there.
👏 Join us in giving Kevin and the South Shore Fences team another well-deserved round of applause!
