Shortly after posting our interview with Jay Wilkinson this morning, some great news came out about his company, Firespring. At yesterday’s Lincoln Chamber of Commerce’s 14th Annual Celebrate Business Luncheon, Firespring was announced as the 2009 Small Business of the Year.

Congratulations to Jay and his team, and to read more about yesterday’s event, check out the Chamber’s News page: Lincoln Chamber Hosts 14th Annual Celebrate Business Luncheon.

Here’s an excerpt from their article:

Since 1992, Firespring has been providing marketing services to more than 3,000 clients from around the nation and world, helping establish Lincoln as an international marketing hub. The company, which currently employs 78, recently expanded with offices in Omaha and Ohio and plans to sell franchises across the nation to bring additional business and revenue to the Lincoln office.
