(ATLANTA, GA) — Hawque Protection Group (HPG), a licensed minority security firm headquartered in Atlanta, is thrilled to announce it has been honored with the prestigious 2023 Pacesetter Award by the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
The annual Pacesetter Awards, hosted by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, recognizes the 100 fastest-growing companies in Atlanta with 2022 revenue between $1 million and $300 million, and a two-year sales growth of over 50%. The 2023 Pacesetter award celebrates HPG’s outstanding growth and success in the industry, particularly in comparison to other highly funded companies and was selected as the 11th fastest growing companies in Atlanta.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Pacesetter Awards are an esteemed recognition of the most rapidly growing private companies in Atlanta. Only the most dynamic and enterprising organizations earn this powerful designation, accompanied by invaluable recognition that sets them apart from the rest.

The award highlights the company’s dedication to delivering unparalleled security solutions to its clients while maintaining a strong focus on customer satisfaction.
“We are very excited and humbled as our team has worked so hard to create jobs and keep our clients and their assets safe, but to also provide amazing customer services to our clients,” said HPG President and Founder Chris Rich. “It can be challenging when you have hyper growth with a self-funded firm, but our team pulled together and pushed through. We are very excited for the future as well as new service offerings this year, such as concierge front desk services for medical practices, luxury high-rises, apartment buildings, and commercial buildings.”
Hawque Protection Group provides a broad range of security services, ranging from personal protection and unarmed security guards to security consulting, police services, workplace violence services and training, building/home threat assessments, and much more.
