In 2002 at the BAVTS Annual Appreciation Banquet, West Side Hammer Electric began an annual tribute to excellence in honor of the first generation owners of their company, grandparents Luke T. & Barbara Cunningham.

West Side Hammer Electric continues its quest for excellence and strives to inspire future generations to aspire to their greatest potential in business.
