The Pinnacle Small Business Awards are among the Chamber’s most prestigious. The celebration recognized both emerging companies as well as companies that have exhibited a substantial history as an established business. The companies honored at the luncheon were selected from more than 300 nominations and from 50 finalists as Gwinnett’s Top 25 Pinnacle Small Business Award Winners, based on steady and above average growth and profitability, growth in number of employees, contributions to the community, overcoming adversity, original entrepreneurship and more, as defined by the Small Business Administration for their statewide and national awards.
