RESCON ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF PARKER YOUNG COMPANIES
COMBINED COMPANY BECOMES ONE OF THE LARGEST DISASTER RESTORATION CONTRACTORS ON THE EAST COAST
NEWTON, MA - Massachusetts-based RESCON Restoration &
Construction, announced today the acquisition of Georgia-based Parker Young
Companies, a privately owned and operated full-service restoration company
serving commercial and residential clients throughout Atlanta metro and the
greater Southeast U.S. since 1986.
"RESCON and Parker Young Companies
share a focus and track-record of providing excellent customer service," said
Bill Graham, RESCON President, and CEO. "This partnership brings together the
industry's most qualified restoration experts and will be supported by a robust
infrastructure and technology systems, to ensure high quality, reliable, and
consistent customer experience. We will be stronger together, and our customers
will benefit," added Mr. Graham.
Parker Young Companies'
Owner and CEO, Mr. Jim Parker, has been in the restoration industry for more
than 33 years. He and Paul Young founded Parker Young Construction in the
Atlanta metro in 1986 and has since added the FireStar brand for emergency and
mitigation services and has expanded the company's service footprint across the
Southeastern U.S.
"Joining forces with RESCON
is all about making both companies stronger for our customers and employees.
Parker Young Companies were founded on the values of a traditional family owned
business, emphasizing workplace culture and customer service," said Mr. Parker.
"RESCON has a very similar culture to Parker Young, in that they place the
highest value on both its customers and its people. I could not be prouder of
how far we've come these last 30 years, but I'm even more excited about what
the future holds for our companies and employees," adds Mr. Parker.
When asked about his secret
for the success, co-owner, Mr. Paul Young replied, "Jim and I have always
believed that the recovery should never be as painful as the loss; the speed of
recovery and the quality of workmanship are two important ingredients."
"At RESCON, we've created an enviable culture of respect and growth,
with loyal employees who take great care in providing the best service to our
customers. Every day, we live by our motto of 'giving back.' We pride ourselves
in a job well done and in supporting our communities. We look forward to bringing together the
resources of both companies so that we can best restore our customers' property
and their peace of mind," adds Mr. Graham.
