As Caldwell Trust Company grows into the Bradenton/ Manatee County area, two of the company’s staff participated in the May 15 Economic Development Roadshow, hosted by the Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance in collaboration with Manatee County Government. Scott T. Antritt, assistant vice president and trust officer, and Sheryl Vieira, assistant vice president of marketing, joined the tour, the first of its kind.
Heather Kasten, executive director of the LWRBA, called the event “a one-day, behind-the-scenes tour of some of Manatee County’s finest and most successful businesses.”
The program began with a continental breakfast at Wagner Realty, where the group boarded a Manatee County Area Transit bus. They traveled from business to business, with the EDC and the County providing an overview of each company prior to a visit there. At each business, a company representative met the group to host a guided tour. Stops included the businesses It Works!, FELD Entertainment, IMG Academy, Sun Hydraulics and Port Manatee.
Scott Antritt and Sheryl Vieira considered the day a success. “We have a number of clients in Bradenton and other parts of Manatee County including Lakewood Ranch,” Scott said. “We appreciated the opportunity to learn even more about some of the leading businesses there.”
