One of the most satisfying aspects of working for a locally-owned but nationally affiliated company like Paul Davis Restoration, is the ability and the freedom to ‘lend a hand’ to those in need. “You might say, It’s in our DNA”, says Leslie Anderson, Paul Davis Restoration Senior Vice President of Training & Launch. “Paul Davis people support homeowners, civic, community, and religious organizations, commercial property and business owners, and others, recover after damage to their property. It is satisfying work and requires skills and equally important true compassion to willingly help those in need.”
Working to correct the serious water, weather, and fire damage for many home and business owners is a full-time job for Paul Davis Restoration businesses. This daily routine of emergency support that Paul Davis local businesses provide exposes them to the broader community needs that become apparent. Years ago, this led to a groundswell of ‘Social Purpose’ activities where Paul Davis local business owners and employees willingly started to ‘lend a hand’. “The varied skills of our Paul Davis Restoration business owners and the talent and commitment of their employees is contagious,” explains Anderson. Today, many of our local businesses establish annual activities on their own, and in tandem with other motivated businesses and local charities, to bring seriously needed services with great success to the communities they serve. Here are several recent ‘Social Purpose’ activities that continue to benefit from the donated time, skills, financial contributions, and widespread encouragement that Paul Davis people so willingly provide.
