The Horizon Council, Horizon Foundation, and the Lee County Economic Development Office celebrate local business contributions through this annual event.
The bank was recognized as the Small Business of the Year. The selection criteria for the award seeks to honor a company with up to 50 employees that has been in business a minimum of six years in Lee County and has been successful in offering high-quality products and services along with superior customer service.
In a prepared statement, the program organizers shared the winners were chosen for “their innovation, integrity, product quality, community commitments and overall excellence in business and value to Lee County.”
The award was accepted by the bank’s President, Robbie Roepstorff, and its CEO, Geoffrey W. Roepstorff. They attended the event with staff members from the bank’s four Lee County offices.
“We are humbled to receive this recognition, said Mr. Roepstorff. “Looking back on more than two decades of service, we feel we have a great perspective on where we have been and where we are going as a community bank. As Lee County continues to grow, the businesses and families choosing to be here will need banking services like ours. We’re constantly innovating, always working to find a better way to serve our customers and our community. We’ll be here for all of them, for many years to come.”
