Santa Mal and his main elf Margie

I bet not every SERVPRO office has their own in house SANTA?!?  Santa Malvern comes by every year to spread Holiday cheer to all of our employees.  Everyone enjoys when Santa Malvern shows up with his bag of goodies.

When Santa Malvern comes to town he brings his favorite elf Margie to help him hand out goodies to all the good boys and girls.  Since, all of our employees are all on the good list, Santa Malvern and head elf Margie are very generous with gifts.

Santa Malvern and his elf Margie have a great time spoiling our staff.  We never know when Santa Malvern and elf Margie so it is a surprise to us all when they do show up.

We are so lucky to have Santa Mal and elf Margie make our Holiday season so festive.

Employee Spotlight

Our Marketing Representative, Tammy LaCognata, starting her Friday out with a smile!

Our Spotlight Employee this week is Tammy LaCognata.  Tammy started with us in February of 2016 as our Marketing Representative.  Before Tammy started working at SERVPRO of Hanover, Goochland and Caroline, she worked in the education field.  Tammy has three beautiful girls (high school, middle school and elementary school), and was able to stay home with her girls until they were all in school and when that happened, Tammy joined a fun and crazy team.  One of Tammy’s favorite things about her job is that she enjoys going to different businesses and meeting all the new people.  It is nice to see all the new faces in our community and let them know we are there if they need us for our services. 

Tammy enjoys spending time with her husband and three girls.  If she isn’t at a tennis match or a cheering competition Tammy would spend as much free time as she could traveling.  If Tammy could be a superhero her name would be “Teleporta” so she could get to places quicker than by car.  If she was “Teleporta” then she could do a lot more traveling.

We love having Tammy on our SERVPRO of Hanover, Goochland & Caroline team!

Happy Retirement Tom Summers

It's not goodbye, it's see you later!

What a year 2016 was for SERVPRO of Hanover, Goochland & Caroline! We welcomed some new faces to our team, celebrated 20 years in business, and we said goodbye to some hardworking men.

With that being said, we have to highlight a top notch gentlemen who was with SERVPRO of Hanover, Goochland & Caroline for 18 years.  Tom Summers started his journey with David and Kathie in 1998 and watched as the company grew into what it is today.  In 1998, there were 5 employees at SERVPRO of Hanover, Goochland & Caroline and in 2016 and now there are 24 employees.  Tom has seen everything that one could see working in this business.  He was always ready to work and always worked hard.  Tom was our go to guy for carpet cleanings, upholstery cleanings and fire cleanings.  Of course, if we needed a hand with water damages, he was always there to help.  You could always count on Tom!  On December 28, 2016, Tom officially began a new life.  A life of relaxation, waking up when he feels like it and a life of new adventures.  Now Tom will get to enjoy his days with his wife, his new house, doing yardwork, taking care of his cats and playing golf when the weather warms up.

Tom will be missed greatly.  The SERVPRO of Hanover, Goochland & Caroline family will miss his smile, his giving heart, his “hat flipping”, his laugh and his dedication to this company. 

Happy Retirement Tom Summers! 

Meet the Man, The Legend - Malvern Barrow

Focused and working hard for our customers!

Introducing you to one of the gentlemen that has been with SERVPRO of Hanover, Goochland & Caroline since the beginning.  David and Kathie Butler started this franchise in 1996 and asked Malvern to be part of their team.  Malvern started this adventure feet on the ground going out to water damages, fires, bio-hazard clean ups and mold jobs.  You name it Malvern was there side by side with David and Kathie.  As the years passed, Malvern received more and more credentials from IICRC, Indoor Air Quality Association and the American Council for Accredited Certification.  Here is just a list of his certifications from IICRC:

• Master Fire & Smoke Restorer
• Master Textile Cleaner
• Master Water Restorer
• Journeyman Textile Cleaner
• Journeyman Fire & Smoke Restorer
• Journeyman Water Restorer
• Applied Microbial Remediation Specialist
• Water Damage Restoration
• Carpet Cleaning
• Stone, Masonry & Ceramic Tile Cleaning
• Carpet Repair & Reinstallation
• Health & Safety
• Color Repair
• Odor Control
• Applied Structural Drying
• Fire & Smoke Restoration
• Upholstery & Fabric Cleaning

The amount of knowledge Malvern has is abundant.  Have you ever wondered how to get a stain out of the carpet when it first happens?  Do you have a stubborn stain on a leather piece of furniture? Or in my case my 2 year old who poured fingernail polish all over a wooden chest and bedroom carpet.  That definitely makes your heart skip a beat.  Malvern was my first phone call to see what I needed to do to save my carpet and my nice antique piece of furniture.  Thank goodness for Malvern!

If you are curious about anything that relates to cleaning carpets, floors cleaning, furniture cleaning, mold remediation, odor in your house or your air duct system please send them our way.  Ask Malvern and email us at SERVPRO8293@erols.com and we will share your question and response from our expert at SERVPRO of Hanover, Goochland & Caroline.

We make it "Like it never even happened."
