Northface Construction is this year's Small Business of the Year. Eleven years ago, at 18 years old, owner Josh Swisher started Northface Constructions with his wife and two others and has since grown the business to a team of 20 in the Elk River Area. They serve customers who want to restore, maintain, and/or improve the exterior of their home or commercial property. They source as much as they can locally, work with local vendors, and volunteer and give back in the community. They have intentionally built a culture that empowers leaders to grown their own skills and provide pathways for careers, not just jobs. The team at Northface Construction embraces a "Customer for Life Mentality" and this helps them build a great team and business. We are excited to name them Small Business of the Year.
