Last Thursday night, December 4th, GiaSpace brought home the Small Business of the Year Award at the Greater Gainesville Chamber’s “A Night Among the Stars” Business Awards. Our Project Manager Dustin accepted the award on behalf of our team at this red carpet celebration honoring the region’s best businesses across 12 categories. The Greater Gainesville Chamber annually recognizes companies that demonstrate excellence in business practices, innovation, and community involvement, helping make North Central Florida a hub of talent and opportunity.

We joined the Chamber this past spring, and winning this award just months after joining speaks to 20 years of living our mission: Fast, Friendly, First Time Fix. From Rob starting GiaSpace in 2005 from his home (driving to every client location himself) to our handpicked team providing 24/7 managed IT services across Florida today, this award validates our approach. Our goal has never been to be the biggest in our industry, but the best at building lasting relationships and delivering exceptional service. Being a small business is a benefit (we can pivot and listen to what’s going on without getting lost in the growing pains larger companies endure).

This win belongs to our entire team (Rob, Dustin, Jake, Yayati, Serdar, Jess, Gabi, and everyone who makes GiaSpace work) and to our clients who trust us with their technology every day. Thank you to the Greater Gainesville Chamber for this recognition and to Gainesville for welcoming us. We’re just getting started.
