BOSTON AND CAPE COD, MA; DECEMBER 3, 2003... Eliza Kendall, the Cape Cod based entrepreneur and president of ElizaJ company, has won the prestigious WomenÂ’s Business Hall of Fame Start Up/Small Business award. KendallÂ’s fast growing company provides upscale, deliverable restrooms all along the Eastern Seaboard and is now granting franchises throughout the U. S.

In a coup that still has her blushing like many of the brides she caters to in her special event upscale deliverable restroom service, Kendall was presented with the WomenÂ’s Business Hall of Fame Start Up/Small Business Award 2003 at a ceremony held at BostonÂ’s Downtown Club.

Kendall, a former special events manager, founded ElizaJ (formerly Leave it to Liza) in 1997 after noticing that there was a continual need for affordable, impeccable, upscale self-contained restrooms at many of the events she organized. She has carved herself a niche by providing a necessity that is refined with amenities.

Now, earning more than a quarter of a million dollars last year in a business that is seasonal (May to October) Kendall caters to a steady stream of wedding and corporate clients. Her esteemed client list includes General Motors, IBM, Microsoft, Genzyme, Smith Kline Beecham, Sprint, McKinsey and Company, Bain and Company, GE, Fidelity, State Street Bank, Paul Wiley and the Kennedy family. Being a former events manager, not only does Kendall understand the “battle” conditions in making events run smoothly, she oftentimes serves as a walking Rolodex to clients, which greatly adds to the value of her services.

“Prior to ElizaJ, I had been in the event business for 7 years and witnessed the stunned reaction of folks who, when pointed to an outdoor restroom, gasped aloud. People in formal attire expect better, much better than what they’ve seen on a construction site. Women in formal dress want to be able to sit without wincing. Outdoor events are only gaining in popularity and the demand for attractive, deliverable restrooms is significant,” said Eliza Kendall, founder and president of ElizaJ.

ElizaJ provides clients with affordable, top of the line deliverable restrooms for special events. Focusing on what women want, the exterior of each unit/trailer is white or linen-white in color and interior, white with dark blue and the outside may be decorated with lattice-work or Ficus trees embellished with white lights. Yards of white tulle swags can be draped around the vent pipes. Each restroom caters to women and contains mirrors, fresh cut flowers at the sinks; mats and wicker wastebaskets; designer soaps and lotions; name brand soft toilet and tissue paper and air fresheners. Music may be piped in.

But a superior product is not all. ElizaJ provides the best in customer service, offering quotes within 24-hours of request and courteous, prompt delivery and pick-up of her impeccable restrooms.

“When I started in the special events business twelve years ago, it never occurred to me that I might win such an award. I’m both thrilled and honored.” Kendall remarked.

ElizaJ’s self-contained restrooms have been described as “elegant, refined and discreet” by a long client list of caterers, party rental companies, wedding planners and other high-end event organizers. With state of the art operations and a successful and clearly defined business strategy, ElizaJ is currently granting franchises throughout the U. S.

“Our franchise program is an ideal business opportunity for someone who is seeking additional income. From teachers, firefighters and at-home mothers to those looking to be their own boss, set their own hours and join the ranks of proud entrepreneurs, ElizaJ is a unique income opportunity,” noted Kendall. “Take it from me, you never know what you’ll be able to achieve until you take that first step.”
