NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — MountainOne shared that it has been named one of the Boston Business Journal's 2025 Best Places to Work in the Medium Business Category (100-249 employees).

According to a press release, each year, the Boston Business Journal celebrates Massachusetts companies that lead the way in cultivating and sustaining exceptional workplace cultures and environments. The award recognizes 100 companies across a broad spectrum of industries, including financial, technology, retail, and health care, with the common denominator being a commitment to fostering a supportive employee environment.

Businesses were selected and ranked based on the results of employee-engagement surveys distributed by Business Journal partner Quantum Workplace. Participating employees rated their work environment, work-life balance, job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, management, compensation, and benefits.

The 2025 honorees were celebrated during a June 12 ceremony at The Westin Copley Place. Accepting the award alongside Mountain President and CEO Robert Fraser was company Spokesgoat Mo. A special publication honoring the Top Places to Work winners appeared in the June 13 weekly edition of the Boston Business Journal.

"This recognition reflects the remarkable culture our employees have helped create," said Robert Fraser, President and CEO of MountainOne. "Together, we've built and continue to maintain a workplace defined by mutual support, open communication, and a shared commitment to our goals."

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Superintendent's Award has been presented to Landon LeClair, a senior in McCann Technical School's advanced manufacturing course.

The presentation was made last Thursday by Superintendent Jame Brosnan after Principal Justin Kratz read from teachers' letters extolling LeClair's school work, leadership and dedication.

"He's become somewhat legendary at the Fall State Leadership Conference for trying to be a leader at his dinner table, getting an entire plate of cookies for him and all his friends," read Kratz to chuckles from the School Committee. "Landon was always a dedicated student and a quiet leader who cared about mastering the content."

LeClair was also recognized for his participation on the school's golf team and for mentoring younger teammates.

"Landon jumped in tutoring the student so thoroughly that the freshman was able to demonstrate proficiency on an assessment despite the missed class time for golf matches," read Kratz.

The principal noted that the school also received feedback from LeClair's co-op employer, who rated him with all fours.

"This week, we sent Landon to our other machine shop to help load and run parts in the CNC mill," his employer wrote to the school. LeClair was so competent the supervisor advised the central shop might not get him back.
