HPG Receives Integrity in Business Award

Firm Honored for Dedication to Corporate Responsibility, Integrity and Ethics

RALEIGH, N.C. (May 6, 2010)―Hughes Pittman & Gupton, LLP (hpg.com), the largest CPA firm headquartered and staffed in the Research Triangle Park region of North Carolina, is the recipient of the 2010 Pinnacle Integrity in Business Award from the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce. The firm was honored during the Chamber’s 26th annual award ceremony on May 4, 2010 at the Raleigh Convention Center.

The Integrity in Business Award recognizes HPG as a company that exhibits a strong commitment to corporate responsibility, integrity, and ethics. The firm’s behavior benefits not only their business and employees, but all like-minded companies in the Triangle area. HPG was selected by an independent group of judges based on the level of commitment to these principles.

“For more than 26 years, the individual daily behaviors of our team members have helped build our ethical reputation within the community,” says Tim Naylor, HPG partner who accepted the award at the event. “Honesty and integrity are the foundation of how we do business at HPG. To be recognized by the local business community for this sustained dedication is a tremendous honor.”

This is the second Pinnacle Business Award HPG has received from the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce. The firm was honored with the Large Entrepreneurial Business Award in 2009. These recognitions build upon a list of accolades the firm and its team members have received. Several HPG partners are also the recipients of excellence awards including the CED Outstanding Service and Entrepreneurial awards, Business Leader Magazine's Impact Financial Leader and Dealmaker recognitions, and the Triangle Business Journal's 40 Under 40 and Women in Business awards.
