SHARPSBURG, Ga. – A global pandemic and an economic downturn didn’t stop the Penco company from success this year.

The Penco company, a business owned by Joey Pendley, was named number 1,844 of Inc. magazine’s top 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in America. Joey Pendley announced this news to his co-workers on Wednesday, Aug. 12.

Joey Pendley said he was at first super surprised to hear the news.

“I still think of us as a little old restoration company — a little company of Sharpsburg. I’ve known that we’ve got a special group for a long time,” Pendley said. “I say I was surprised, but to be honest with you, the way things were going with our entire six years, it really wasn’t a surprise.”

Every year, Inc. magazine picks the top 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the United States. This year, software, media and health companies ranked highest on the list. However, Penco, a small-town company, made it on the list as well. Penco is an emergency response and restoration company that renews buildings from water, fire, mold and storm damage.

Joey Pendley started the company on Dec. 5, 2013, and since then, they have grown tremendously. When they started the company, it was just Pendley and one part-time person. Now, they have over 30 employees, Pendley says.

On the company’s website, it says Joey Pendley “strives to run his business with a small-town family approach.” Pendley attributes the success of his business to focusing on the people who make up the company.

“We focus on people, not profit. Our motto is ‘Do Right Always.’ It’s the Penco promise. When I finally figured out how to focus on growing leaders and people instead of focusing on profits, it made a huge difference,” Pendley said.

Pendley’s advice for other companies trying to make it big is to focus on people.

“We work hard every day to grow our company and to sell our work, but at the end of the day, we focus on our clients. We focus on our employees. We focus on the community,” Pendley said.

Pendley’s hope for the future of his company is that his business is a vessel of career paths for his employees.

“My dream is that one day it would be an employee-owned company, where everybody involved is able to accomplish their career goals,” Pendley said. “The first thing I want to know is, what are your dreams? Where do you want to go? And how can I help you get there? What I want for the company is to provide career paths.”
