YOUNGSTOWN - Better Business Bureau serving Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties has announced the 2024 Torch Awards for Marketplace Trust. The event celebrates BBB Accredited Businesses and leaders that exemplify BBB Standards for Trust.
The Torch Awards are made possible due to the support of the BBB TrustBuilders, a group of banking institutions in the valley with long-term commitments to earning and keeping the public's trust. Dedicated to the growth and vitality of the valley, these banks make loans that help small businesses and individuals achieve economic success and financial security. They invest in trust-building and strengthen the community through civic involvement, volunteerism, financial education, and sound operating principles.
BBB TrustBuilders include Premier Bank, PNC Bank, Farmers National Bank and Huntington Bank.
The TrustBuilders enable the Better Business Bureau to present other outstanding businesses and individuals in the valley with Torch Awards, honoring them for business practices based on a dedication to trustworthiness and service to our Valley through volunteerism.
