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.

TEWKSBURY, MA — The following letter to the editor was submitted by Tewksbury resident Clare Anne Marie Stronach. On Saturday, April 2, I will be casting my vote for James 'Jim' Duffy for Planning Board! I first came to know Jim many years ago when we volunteered for the newly- formed Green Community Committee. Its mission was to work toward Tewksbury's designation as a Massachusetts Green Community. It was not an easy task! I watched Jim leverage his professional experience, collaborate with other members, work tirelessly to collect and analyze data, and finally to bring consensus within the community. (To date, this designation has gleaned in excess of $1.8 million.) Such traits are essential for a successful Planning Board Member! Jim is energized and ready to give back to the community he loves! Please join me in supporting James Duffy for Planning Board. Enthusiastically,Anne Marie Stronach
