LEXINGTON, Ky. — Churchill McGee was named the 2020 Small Business of the Year at Commerce Lexington’s Salute to Small Business Virtual Awards at Lunch Friday presented by Forcht Bank. The recipient of this year’s award in the Business Success Category, Churchill McGee was chosen for the honor from three different category winners.

Commerce Lexington President and CEO, Bob Quick, said, “Small businesses across our region have been hit especially hard by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. If there was ever a year to recognize the positive impact of our small businesses, this is it. Although events look differently right now, we wanted to make sure we honored our award winners the right way, so we expanded our Salute to Small Business to a weeklong celebration with a variety of online opportunities to learn about and engage with our award winners. Congratulations to each of our Category Award winners for all of their success.”
