Investing more than 40 years into building a business from the ground up, with my wife Stephanie by my side for most of them, was like raising a family. So when it came time to take the next step, I wasn’t about to sell our ‘baby’ to just anybody. I spoke with others interested in buying Ping’s Tree Service; but when I met the folks at Sav-A-Tree, I knew these were people I could trust. As things turned out, it was a win for everybody – for me, for my customers, for my managers and for my employees (our ‘family’). Everyone who wanted to stay with the company did – including my daughter Lisa, who is thriving as a District Manager. That’s a pretty rare and unusual combination when selling a business.
Once I made the decision to sell my business, I spoke with several firms. Ultimately, it came down to this question: Which company can I count on to provide not just jobs, but long-term careers and growth opportunities for my 80 employees – a place they could call home? SavATree delivered on that promise in every way, in addition to providing a seamless transition with the merger – not an easy task with three locations in two states.
The most important consideration in selling my business was to choose a company whose core philosophies I believe in – a company I can stand behind. That’s SavATree. And because I wanted to remain active in the industry, my decision to join Sav-A-Tree has been even more rewarding. With a national position as General Tree Care Talent Developer, I can contribute to this growing company with great ideas and an exciting future by recruiting new team members and training them to the highest industry standards.
