The Award Center was founded by Bill Tibbitts of Weatherford, Texas in 1977. He moved the business to different locations in town as populations dictated. Bill sold the Award Center to Galli Davis and Mark Decker of Weatherford in 1991. After retiring from the education field, Jerry Wilhelm of Weatherford purchased the company from Galli & Mark in 1993.
Jerry renamed the company Award Center & Plastic Signs, Inc. The Wilhelm family are still the current owners, including a daughter Debra who is the Manager. Jerry & Debra work hand in hand from 9–5, Monday through Friday and other times as needed. Debra does most of the engraving with the laser and two other engraving machines. Jerry does a lot of the construction of the engraved products, maintenance upkeep and public relations.
The company is the largest producer of custom Name Badges in Parker County. The badges are made on site very quickly for the customer.
As a member of the Weatherford Chamber of Commerce and East Parker County Chamber of Commerce, the company enjoys all of their benefits to the community. Jerry has been a board member in both chambers and is currently on the Business Development Committee in the Weatherford Chamber of Commerce.
The company’s motto, “Service to you is our Business, our only Business” is truly what the Award Center is founded on. All the success that we enjoy is based on that principle.
Thanks for putting your trust in us.
