Distributor Pioneer Music Company has just been recognized as one of Kansas City’s best small businesses as one of the city’s winners of the 2018 25 Under 25® Awards…out of 1,400 applicants!
The awards are presented to 25 local businesses with fewer than 25 employees. Each winner has demonstrated financial strength, the ability to overcome adversity and challenges, a commitment to the community and a powerful company vision.
“Small businesses are a powerful, but often overlooked force,” said Kelly Scanlon, CEO of Thinking Bigger Business Media and the creator of 25 Under 25®. “Together, these companies employ thousands upon thousands of people, deliver innovative products and services, and help support our government, schools, nonprofits and other public resources.”
Said Alec Haight of Pioneer Music Co., “This award further solidifies our local presence in the Midwest, and motivates us as the premier commercial and residential AV distributor for this territory.
“Receiving the Top 25 Under 25 award serves as a reminder that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves, and that as a nearly 150-year-old company, we stand on the shoulders of giants.
“We are in such a tight-knit industry, we’ve celebrated the ups, persevered through the downs, and had some good laughs in between. Our team is committed to our customers’ success, and this award is a great demonstration of that.
“I would encourage all business owners in the custom installation integration industry to seek out these opportunities in their own communities you never know where the next business opportunity is coming from!”
