The Berkeley County Chamber of Commerce recently presented its 2018 Business and Industry Awards.

Through this award, the Chamber recognizes businesses and industries for their contributions to Berkeley County. This year the chamber chose the winners based on the broad categories of innovation and technology, community engagement and volunteerism.
“These companies represent respected qualities: drive, vision, perseverance, the desire to make a difference and in many cases the willingness to take a risk and make sacrifices” said Elaine Morgan, Berkeley Chamber CEO.
“Each of the honorees, whether through the growth of their businesses, their time-honored service to the community or their volunteerism, have contributed significantly to the vitality and growth of Greater Berkeley County”.
