During Bartholomy’s tenure, the BBB says it has expanded exponentially, helping more than 2 million people check on local businesses and thousands more file reviews or complaints last year.
He’s also been a resource for many of Channel 9′s reporters as they investigate local businesses.
Bartholomy will officially retire at the end of next January.
