Foundation Supportworks Expands Facility to Accommodate Growth
Foundation Supportworks (FSI) has experienced exponential growth since 2008 and recently began construction of a 7,100 square foot addition to their office building located in Omaha, NE. The new addition will be connected to their existing 10,000 square foot office building and will make room for FSI’s ever-growing staff along with a state-of-the-art training facility. In addition to creating 22 new offices for FSI employees, the new office space will also include an interactive training center that will be able to accommodate more than 100 individuals. Amanda Harrington, Director of Training and Development for FSI, says, “With nearly 15 events on our 2010 training schedule and even more events scheduled for 2011, the new training center will provide a great learning environment for our dealers. The multimedia technology incorporated throughout the training center will allow training participants to learn in a variety of ways, ensuring the best opportunity to solidify learning concepts and incorporate them when they get back to the ‘real world’.”
The new addition is located next door to FSI’s 27,000 square foot warehouse and distribution center where finished product is stored and orders are shipped to dealers throughout North America. President and co-founder, Greg Thrasher, says, “Foundation Supportworks has been blessed with a talented staff and a committed customer base which has allowed us to invest in the future of the company. Our mission is to be the best in our industry and to “wow” our customers every step of the way. We accomplish that mission by providing our customers with the resources they need to be successful, and part of that mission will be lived out with this addition.”
Initial construction of the addition began on March 22nd and the project should be completed by the end of August.
Annual Owner’s Meeting Brings Sun, Fun and Lots of Good Conversation
Owners across the Foundation Supportworks dealer network recently attended the 2010 Owner’s Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. We had a record turnout at this year’s event, with more than 60 dealer offices represented and well over 150 attendees. Wow!
It’s not very often that a group of owners are able to get together, share successes, get advice about common challenges, learn about new tools available, and strengthen the connection they feel to one another. One can really feel the power of a network at these events.
Foundation Supportworks presented on topics such as the commitment necessary to become involved commercial sales and marketing, management training topics, new helical products and their capacities, ICC progress, soil nails, new presentation tools for home inspectors, and more.
The Owner’s Meeting gave attendees some much welcomed sunshine, some great laughs, and most importantly, lots of good insight on how to reach new levels of success within their business!
