We have two more finalists to introduce you to before this year's Small Business of the Year Awards coming up August 25, 2016 at The Newnan Centre. Today, meet Penco Restoration!
Chamber membership philosophy and involvement: Our philosophy on the Chamber is that it exists to connect businesses within the community, as well as assisting in recruiting and encouraging business and industry to choose Coweta County. As a member, we agree to operate as a community-minded business, showing support to citizens, organizations, schools, and other businesses within Coweta County. We are proud to have been a member since Penco was started in 2013 and have participated in numerous ways. We have displayed multiple times at the small business expo, we have provided the golf towels two years in a row for the Chamber golf tournament, we attend breakfasts, lunches, etc. to promote and help build the Chamber. We are a fan of the Business-After-Hours and hope to host that later in 2016.
Community involvement: As a Coweta resident 27+ years, I am well versed in this community and am aware of many needs. One commitment I made when opening Penco Restoration was to invest in our community always. I am proud to say that in the last 2-1/2 years, we have given back over $50,000 in financial support, contributions, scholarships, and donations to multiple different schools, clubs, nonprofits and civic groups. We take great pride in our community involvement and support, and plan to continue growing this part of our business.
How Penco Restoration differs from competitors: One of the main goals when I opened Penco Restoration was to operate a Christian-based, community-involved company that supports local nonprofits and civic groups. In doing this, we look at each job a little differently. Profit is a necessity to keep the lights on and the bills paid, however, it shouldn't be the "drive" of your day. I firmly believe that if we "Do The Right Thing, Always," the rest will work itself out. This has proven to be a profitable business plan, as shows in our growth numbers as well as our contributions back to the community.
