What Being Named Small Business Person of the Year Means to Gibson Printing
In 2012, Gibson Printing owner Sherry Gibson was honored as the Small Business Person of the Year by the Greater St. Charles County Chamber of Commerce. While receiving the award was a tremendous honor, its significance extends far beyond a plaque on the wall.
For our team, the recognition reflects decades of hard work, dedication to customers, and a commitment to supporting the local business community throughout St. Charles County and the Greater St. Louis area.
A Recognition Built on Service
The Small Business Person of the Year Award recognizes business leaders who demonstrate excellence in leadership, innovation, business growth, and community involvement. For Gibson Printing, these values have been part of our foundation since opening our doors in 1994.
As a trusted St Charles printing company, we've always believed that success is measured by more than sales and revenue. It's about helping customers grow their businesses, supporting local organizations, and building lasting relationships throughout the community.
Receiving this award reinforced our belief that investing in people and providing exceptional service truly matters.
More Than Just Printing
Over the years, Gibson Printing has evolved into a full-service printing partner for businesses, nonprofits, schools, and organizations throughout the region.
From business cards and brochures to book production, graphic design, banners, signs, and promotional products, our goal has always been to help customers communicate their message effectively.
As a local printing company, we understand the unique needs of businesses in St. Charles County. We know that deadlines matter, quality matters, and personalized service matters.
Unlike large online print providers, we work directly with our customers to ensure every project meets their expectations.
The Importance of Being a Woman-Owned Business
Another aspect of this recognition that we're especially proud of is the role Gibson Printing has played as a woman owned printing company.
When Sherry Gibson founded and grew Gibson Printing, women-owned businesses were far less common in the printing industry than they are today. Through hard work, leadership, and a commitment to excellence, she helped establish Gibson Printing as one of the area's most respected print providers.
Today, we continue to embrace the values that have guided our company from the beginning:
- Quality workmanship
- Exceptional customer service
- Community involvement
- Innovation and growth
- Long-term customer relationships
These principles remain at the heart of everything we do.
A Commitment to the St. Charles Community
One of the reasons this award is so meaningful is its connection to the local community.
The Greater St. Charles County Chamber of Commerce recognizes individuals who make a positive impact on local businesses and economic development. Throughout the years, Gibson Printing has been actively involved in chamber activities, community organizations, and initiatives that support local growth.
We believe that strong communities are built by strong local businesses working together.
As a longtime St Charles printing company, we are proud to serve businesses throughout St. Charles, St. Peters, O'Fallon, Wentzville, and the surrounding communities.
Looking Back and Looking Forward
More than a decade has passed since Sherry Gibson received the Small Business Person of the Year Award, but the values that earned that recognition continue to guide our company today.
While technology and the printing industry have evolved, our commitment to quality, service, and community remains unchanged.
We are grateful to our customers, employees, partners, and community members who have supported Gibson Printing throughout the years. This award was not just a recognition of one individual—it was a reflection of the relationships and trust we've built together.
Thank You for Supporting Local
As a locally owned and operated business, we understand the importance of supporting companies that invest back into the community.
When you choose Gibson Printing, you're partnering with a company that has been recognized for leadership, service, and dedication to the businesses and organizations that make St. Charles County such a great place to live and work.
We look forward to continuing to serve our customers with the same commitment to excellence that earned us the Small Business Person of the Year recognition and many other honors throughout our history.
