On this Valentine's Day it seems fitting to recognize the employment anniversaries of our Action Carpet Team and 'show the love' and gratitude for their service, dependability and dedication to this company which was created and established by Kevin Blake, Owner & President, 19 years ago this May.
Kevin initially operated Action Carpet out of a small storefront in North Granby way back when and has since grown the business to a three showroom operation with a 6,000 square foot warehouse/administrative office space in Simsbury. Liz Listro, Bookkeeper for Action and Kevin's Step Sister, will be celebrating her 12th year with Action this Fall. Her office, along with Kevin's, occupies the newly remodeled upper level of the warehouse where she keeps the books and the installers' schedule amongst various other tasks. Carrie Jensen, Warehouse Manager, tends to the daily operations of the warehouse, keeping inventory of stock and assisting the installers with their needs to complete jobs efficiently. She celebrates her 8th year with Action this year.
Karen Blake Largay, Store Manager in our Windsor showroom and also Kevin's sister, is entering her 18th year of employment at Action. Karen also maintains the scheduling for our cleaning portion of the business. She keeps Tony Voytovich, Cleaning Operations Manager for almost 19 years with Action, organized and busy. Joan Blake, Store Manager in Granby and Kevin's Step Mother, is entering her 19th year. In addition to helping customers, Joan also does all the ordering for us. While Mike Camilleri, Sales Manager in Granby and Estimator Extraordinaire, is entering his 4th year with Action, he has 47 years experience overall in the flooring industry. And, lastly, I just celebrated my 9th year this month with Action managing our Simsbury showroom and in-home consulting for our customers who desire another pair of eyes to assist in the product selection process.
Several members of our installation team have also been with Action since we opened our doors in 1993, and we're honored and grateful to have some of the best in the industry.
The longevity of its employees says a lot about a company, the overall operation and it's owner. Does ACTION CARPET & FLOOR COVERING have excellent employee-retention or what! This expertise is just another value we offer to you, our loyal customers, and we just wanted you to know.
