More than 400 attendees participated in the banquet to celebrate the success of these Virginia entrepreneurs. Unissant was one of the 50 companies being recognized who are leading the success by raising personal incomes of Virginians, attracting top talent, and making their communities better places to live and work. Unissant was pleased and honored to be ranked and awarded for their entrepreneurial spirit and hard work.
About the Awards—Virginia’s Fantastic 50 award program is a signature event of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce. Now in its 21st year, the Fantastic 50 program is the only annual statewide award recognizing Virginia’s fastest growing business.
Nominations for the 2016 Fantastic 50 were sought last fall from local chambers of commerce, economic development organizations, and through the sponsors’ networks; companies may also nominate themselves.
To be eligible, a company must be privately held with headquarters in Virginia, show sales between $200,000 and $200 million, and demonstrate positive revenue growth and positive net income in its most recent fiscal year over the previous year. Companies are judged on four-year sales revenue history. The professional service firm Dixon Hughes Goodman verifies all award entries.
The Fantastic 50 award program is sponsored by the Virginia Chamber, Cox Communications, Inc., Avison Young, Inc., Virginia Business Magazine, Dixon Hughes Goodman, SunTrust Bank, Capital One, the Washington Nationals, and the Westfields Marriott.
