A Decade of Leadership at PuroClean
PuroClean, a prominent name in property restoration and remediation, is celebrating a significant milestone this December: a decade of visionary leadership under Chairman and CEO Mark W. Davis and Vice Chairman Frank Torre. Their journey began in September 2015 when they took over the franchise, and since then, they have propelled PuroClean's growth in ways that have made a lasting impact on both communities and franchise owners.
Under their guidance, PuroClean has expanded its footprint from 222 locations to over 500 across the United States and Canada, achieving this remarkable milestone earlier this year. This growth speaks volumes about their commitment to strategic expansion, operational excellence, and strong support for franchise owners.
Davis expressed immense pride in what the PuroClean network has achieved, stating, "Today, PuroClean stands strong with more than 500 locations across North America and an exceptional community of Franchise Owners who embody the very essence of our mission." Their leadership approach has been rooted in empathy, technical expertise, and the pursuit of unparalleled service, which has led to a thriving brand that remains dedicated to helping communities in need.
When the duo acquired PuroClean, they had a clear vision: to transform it into a world-class brand capable of serving more communities effectively. They prioritized long-term growth through investments in people and systems, setting PuroClean apart from competitors focused solely on rapid expansion. Their achievements are evident, with a fivefold increase in average franchise unit sales, ongoing training programs, better insurance partnerships, and operational excellence that permeates the network.
Additionally, they have revamped their vendor partnership model, ensuring connections with high-performing partners who share their values and commitment to growth and service excellence. This strategic focus on collaboration has greatly enhanced both business operations and customer service quality.
