Whereas, principal owner of the company, Steve Bailey founded Merus Refreshment Services, Inc., eleven years ago and presently serves as its chief executive officer and board chairman; and

Whereas, based in Greenville and Greer, the firm is now the State’s leading provider of pointofuse drinkingwater systems and the largest South Carolinabased provider of office coffee services. The company has expanded to include twentysix employees and three locations in the Carolinas; and

Whereas, under Steve Bailey’s leadership, Merus has continued to thrive and expand, despite the slumping economy; and

Whereas, grateful to the people who support his business, Steve Bailey significantly “gives back” by serving as a member of the Clemson University Small Business Development Center Advisory Board and as chairman of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce Small Business Council; and

Whereas, the General Assembly, recognizing the excellence of his example, takes great pleasure in honoring Mr. Bailey for winning the prestigious 2009 SBA Small Business Person of the Year award for South Carolina and wishes him every future success. Now, therefore,
