SERVPRO recognizes local business for outstanding revenue performance

JoAnn and Ray Hopkins of SERVPRO of Sussex County joined a group of high-performing franchisees who were recognized at the recent SERVPRO Annual Convention. SERVPRO of Sussex County received the Millionaire’s Gold Award. More than 2,500 owners, key staff, and corporate representatives attended the annual event, which was held in Seattle in June.

"We have a dedicated group of disaster remediation professionals at SERVPRO of Sussex County, and we're proud to accept this award on behalf of the entire team," said JoAnn Hopkins, SERVPRO of Sussex County owner. "Our business is just one of many extraordinary small businesses in the SERVPRO franchise system, all of which benefit from the innovative tools, the business framework and the ongoing training SERVPRO provides. This support is a big part of the reason why SERVPRO has been an industry leader in disaster cleanup, restoration and remediation services for 50 years."

Conference keynote speaker was Ross Bernstein, an inspirational business speaker and best-selling sports author. Bernstein's signature program, The Champion's Code, reinforces the concept that individuals win games, but teams win championships.

"As we celebrate our 50th year of providing world-class service to home and business owners who find themselves faced with sudden and unexpected disasters, the message that Bernstein delivers resonates. Our company's success is built on the professionalism, caring, and integrity of our individual franchisees, like this year's award winners. But the focus of the company as a whole is on providing the tools and training these individuals need to succeed," said Sue Steen, chief executive officer of Servpro Industries Inc. "This annual gathering is our opportunity to share the latest in technology and insights with our owners, to congratulate this year's award winners, and to thank the extraordinary entrepreneurs - the team that has kept us at the top of our business category year after year."
