Dave Guiler, owner of Premier Entertainment Group LLC, was honored as the Small Business Person of the Year during an award luncheon for Small Business Week 2024. Guiler expressed gratitude for the recognition and attributed his success to his team’s dedication and hard work. He emphasized the importance of educating the community about the services Premier Entertainment Group provides for large concerts and events locally and nationally.
Guiler was one of four finalists in the category, including Joshue Bane of Evergreen Creative Co., Reginald Greenwood of Sister’s Soul Express, and Sandi Hodge of Shute Pecan Co. Inc. Walt Ellis, chairman of Wiregrass Wealth Management’s Membership Development Council, highlighted the significance of honoring small business owners who often feel overlooked and underappreciated. He commended the Chamber for recognizing their contributions to the Wiregrass area and praised all four finalists for their deserving recognition.
Throughout the rest of Small Business Week 2024, various events are scheduled, including Surprise Patrol Visits to local businesses and a Women’s Night Out event at the Chamber. The four finalists served as guest speakers at the award luncheon, which was supported by Five Star Credit Union as the presenting sponsor, along with gold sponsors Barberitoes – A Southwestern Grille and Cantina, Dothan Awning and Exteriors, and Eagle Eye Outfitters Inc. Bill Perkins encouraged readers to support Eagle journalists by purchasing a digital subscription to stay updated on local business news by signing up for their free weekly newsletter.
