Women in Business Nominees
Monique Gibson — Simplistic Linens
After 18 years in the hospitality industry, Monique’s desire to provide a unique service within the region that would remain successful for many years down the road lead her to developing her own company – Simplistic Linens- in 2012. Since then, she has worked tirelessly building a name for herself and her company, completing over 500 events and building relationships with many vendors, companies and families. She sets herself apart from the competition by focusing on local charity and fundraising events that are geared towards giving back to the community, rather than weddings and large corporate events (though she can do those too!). Monique is a dedicated entrepreneur who believes in building her reputation on quality, honesty and supporting those around her.
