128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric Stays Independent

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric

128 Announces Local Independent Ownership For Good One question that Ryan Williams, President of 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, keeps getting is: “Did you sell?” and the answer is always In recent years, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home services have seen significant consolidation. In Greater Boston, 128 is one of the only home service companies that remain local, private, and independently-owned. This led Williams to seek out organizations that aren't just in business to sell, but to thrive long-term. He found the Tugboat Institute®, focusing on value, purpose, and people-driven businesses planning to remain independently-owned for 100+ years through their Certified Evergreen® status. 128 applied with the help of its entire team and received the honor of becoming Certified Evergreen® a year later. Watch 128's announcement here: https://youtu.be/g5rsiZW7B1k?si=KeR42U8H9GXnCJkH Does this impact customers? Customers want reliability and support for years down the road from their home service company, and choosing an independently-owned company can reduce uncertainties. Does this impact tradespeople? Ownership can influence company culture, communication, alignment, and priorities. With a labor shortage, it's important there are industry leaders willing to continually invest in education, which 128 is proud to offer its own school. Choose Local and Independent. 128 is proud to announce its continued local and independent ownership to bring stability and confidence to employees, customers, and communities for generations. Williams states that "128 answers to its customers and employees, not investors", and is not for sale. 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric was founded in 1992 and is a top home service company in Eastern MA. 128 is known for its 5-star service, base+ membership, Finish Strong Friday®, and its Red Sox partnership.

Leominster Elks Lodge #1237

Father's Day Card Show Brings Families, Kids and Collectors Together in Leominster
LEOMINSTER — While sports cards and collectibles bring people through the door, the real focus of Pay It Forward Card Shows has always been the people.
On Sunday, June 21, collectors, families, parents, grandparents, and kids will gather at the Leominster Elks Lodge for the Father's Day Pay It Forward Card Show.
The event features 60 tables of sports cards, Pokémon cards, memorabilia, collectibles, buying, selling and trading. But what makes the show unique is its commitment to families, community, and giving back.
Over the years, Pay It Forward Card Shows has helped create countless memories for young collectors. Kids are encouraged to participate, learn about the hobby, and build friendships with fellow collectors. Many young attendees have grown into vendors and entrepreneurs, proving that the hobby is about much more than cards.
Founder Peter "Road Dog" Panagiotou has built the show around a simple belief:
"Parents + Kids = The Future of the Hobby."
A portion of all proceeds supports WhyMe.org, The Orthodox Food Pantry, and WooSaders Flag Football.
Whether you're a longtime collector, returning to the hobby, or looking for a fun Father's Day activity, the Pay It Forward Card Show offers something for everyone.
Event Details:
Father's Day Pay It Forward Card Show Sunday, June 21 Leominster Elks Lodge 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
