YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The Better Business Bureau serving Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties announced Wednesday recipients of the 2025 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 Mahoning 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 our community through civic involvement, volunteerism, financial education and sound operating principles.
BBB TrustBuilders include PNC Bank, Farmers National Bank, Huntington Bank and Premier Bank, becoming WesBanco.
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 the Valley through volunteerism.
