"W e do so much stuff, it's ridicu- lous," says Tony Scott. And somehow, that doesn't seem to come from a place of ego or bravado. Rather, the founder and CEO of Richmond- based property restoration biz Platinum Pro-Claim is simply trying to recall all of the community initiatives his company has embarked on since he launched it at age 26 back in 1991. "When we're hiring people, we always ask, If your neighbour had a flood, what would be your response?" Scott says of his 165-employee team.

If they have to think about it, or say, Well I'd shut my curtains and hide—and believe me, we've had that before—it's not going to work." Scott believes that approach is necessary for a business that stakes its reputation on being the "restoration company that cares." Its efforts in the community take that mis- sion statement further. 24 BCBUSINESS APRIL 2021 Community Involvement W I N N E R Platinum Pro-Claim Restoration RESTORATION STORY Platinum Pro-Claim founder Tony Scott prides himself on giving back ADAM BLASBERG
