Man what a year it has been! Enjoyed celebrating with some of our guys talking about the highs (and lows) of the first year.
Certainly the word pride comes to mind when I look back on the start of this journey.
I’m proud of the relationships we have made in such a short time. We’ve worked in more locations and markets than I could have ever imagined. Those relationships with different developers, contractors, owners, government municipalities, etc. have made the difference.
I’m proud of our quality. As a team, every decision we try to make centers around quality. How can we provide the best product for our client? Quality will always survive.
I’m proud of our willingness to think outside the box and work on all types of projects. Facility maintenance, design build, govt, private, industrial, sub work, GC work, etc. Moving in and out on this type of work takes extreme organizational communication. Our guys have worked hard on this.
However, what I’m most proud of is our TEAM. I’ve said it plenty of times but the hardest part of growing a business is getting people to join the journey. We’ve added critical pieces along the way that have made us better at each step.
Our guys grind. They work in the rain. They travel. They work nights. Early morning. Late evenings. To them, it has become part of our culture; it is a culture that defines us.
As I look back on this past year, I smile thinking about those tough days. Days that every business owner has had. Nothing is going right…working your tail off, etc. etc etc. But, the reason I smile is because I had a team standing right there with me willing to do anything to make it better. If that doesn’t wake you up in the morning, I don’t know what does…Cheers!
The PL Russell team celebrated a successful first year in business last month!
We are grateful for the opportunity so many customers have given us. Year 1 was a tremendous success and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for year 2!
