Golden Limousine President & CEO Sean Duval
Golden Limousine International has been named a 2025 Small Business of the Year by Michigan Celebrates Small Business, honored in the Minority-Owned category. But while the designation reflects ownership, the true heart of this award—and of Golden's legacy—is built on a foundation of excellence, perseverance, reliability, and loyalty from both clients and employees.
Golden will be celebrated at the 21st Annual Michigan Celebrates Small Business Awards Gala in East Lansing on April 22, 2025, among an elite group of businesses that exemplify Michigan's entrepreneurial spirit.
Since its founding in 1992, Golden has grown from a local transportation provider into a globally recognized company built on delivering exceptional service, cultivating lasting relationships, and navigating challenges with resilience and integrity.
"This recognition is an honor, but it's really a testament to our team—the people who show up every day to create Golden experiences for every client, on every journey," said Golden Limousine President & CEO Sean Duval.
Golden's leadership emphasizes a people-first culture—valuing its employees, serving its community, and exceeding client expectations across Michigan and beyond.
"Our story is not just about business—it's about loyalty, dedication, and showing up for each other, our customers, and our community," added CFO Alina Duval. "This award reflects our past and inspires our continued commitment to making a meaningful impact."
That sentiment is echoed by Adibe Garces, associate director of business development at the West Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
"Entrepreneurs are the driving force behind innovation and economic growth, and the commitment by Golden Limousine International to overcome each challenge and make Michigan a better place is remarkable,” said Garces. “Golden's vision, resilience, and determination are shaping the future of our great state and their communities. Golden Limousine International deserves many accolades for earning the distinction of 2025 Minority-Owned Small Business of the Year and I'm thrilled to be part of recognizing their success."
Golden's recognition is based on a range of criteria, including long-term business stability, growth potential, community engagement, and workplace culture—all areas where the company continues to lead with intention and heart.
