I hope everyone is adjusting to the much-needed fall weather that has finally hit Texas. My family and I certainly appreciate the cool down with our Midwest roots, just not looking to see snow any time soon! My wife and I are enjoying our last round of high school sports for our twins that are seniors this year. It is always great to share family news, see below for some other highlights from our team.

Good to see a few project celebrations in the links below, we have some outstanding accomplishments to date that we want to make sure we share and highlight. We are expecting a strong push to the finish on all of our of projects. These celebrations are a great reminder this time of the year to organize and prepare for success on each and every project.

I am sure everyone is excited about the upcoming holidays as we enter Q4. Please make sure our teams are planning shared coverage with our demanding work schedules to ensure we prioritize time with family. I know this is challenging at times, but we have been focused on adjusting our composition of teams to make sure we are covering our challenging jobs with shift work and demanding timelines. We want to hear your feedback if your team needs more support.

Our business development team with leadership support has been working hard on new opportunities in multiple market sectors, with recent wins in Houston and San Antonio. We have secured additional work in Higher Ed, K-12, Public Works, and Corporate markets. We appreciate everyone’s help in wrangling in these wins and delivering expectations with existing clients that has encouraged several to extend and expand our contract work.

We are finalizing our Q3 results and just presented to leadership this week. We are excited to announce our Texas Business Unit is currently exceeding profit and and sales goals for 2023. We continue to work on 2024 strategic planning along with our engagement team planning new and exciting events in the coming months. Please look for upcoming announcements, hope to see you there!

I anticipate that everyone was able to view the most recent corporate Brown Bag where we introduced a few organizational changes. We are excited about the return of Michael Brown to Gilbane; he is already starting to get engaged in Texas leadership calls and we look forward to his formal introduction by the end of the year. Please check below for some of the hard work and events we should be proud of in 2023.
