The International Surface Event
|
Scott Murray attended The International Surface Event commonly known as SURFACES June 16-18 at Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. Scott introduced our Ultracera® line and said “The material was overwhelmingly well received. We showed mostly marble patterns and the vivid colors and patterns of the Ultracera® Wild line. Mostly items that designers would be hesitant to specify for a common extended stay hotel guest room but designs that would be center stage in an upscale home or modern public area bar. We are in the process of opening up Ultracera® to the biggest countertop distributors in the country for residential and commercial markets.” This is wonderful news for the company. Way to go Scott!

It was a "bear-y" special celebration!
|
On June 18, MGroup hosted a baby shower at Nutwood Winery to show our sweet Brie, Rug Program and Development Designer some love as she anticipates the arrival of her first baby, a boy named Paul Henry Horseman, due in August. Brie's nursery theme is bears and bunnies and Regina did a wonderful job decorating accordingly. The table featured stuffed bunnies and everyone went home with a gluten-free cupcake that looked like a bear. Brie received several boxes of diapers among other gifts and really felt the love. MGroup is so excited to welcome our newest member. Thank you all who joined us in celebrating!

Renovation Program Kickoff
|
This month kicks off our campaign on our Renovation Program. We will be putting out several social media posts leading up to HD Expo in late August so make sure you’re following us! We will also be putting out mailers and brochures that support the various products within the program. Matthew Van Norman will be in the center of all of the action since he is our new Lead Renovation Manager. The program will offer LVT, Vanity Bases, Ultracera® countertops, Shower Doors, Shower Pans, and Shower Kits. Our Shower Kits include shower surrounds, doors, and pans. We will also be putting emphasis on our Renovation-Style Shower Pan which includes a customized drain to meet unique plumbing needs. This item is exclusive to MGroup™ and something that really gives us a competitive advantage. We are so excited to offer this new line of service to our customers and really amp up the focus here! So, be on the lookout for what’s coming and pass the news to customers!

HOTEC North America
|
HOTEC was this past week in Aventura, FL. Bo Burdette and Drew Murray were in attendance. This is the first time HOTEC Design and HOTEC Operations came together for one event. For those of you who aren’t familiar, HOTEC is an event where domestic buyers and designers meet with global suppliers to exchange ideas and form connections. Bo and Drew met with several hospitality designers, contractors, purchasers, and owners at the event. It was extremely successful and the team is hopeful that with diligent follow-up, we can capitalize on the event and the relationships formed. Drew said, "the overall sentiment is that jobs are coming back to our industry, and those prepared will come out of this next cycle in a good position."

"Road to Recovery" Community Outreach
|
We are pleased to update you on the donations given in Ms. Patti's honor to the Enoch Callaway Cancer Center. We at MGroup called this initiative the Road to Recovery Community Outreach.
Currently, because of your generosity, you have provided:
- A meal for a hungry family (used Kroger card)
- Transportation relief for a patient from Manchester that also has to drive to Atlanta.
- A Columbus patient that only wants his family to drive them but needs help with gas money.
- Several local patients that drive themselves but find the cost of gas is destroying their budgets.
Cancer Coordinator, Sarah Hersey said, “There are no words that adequately convey my thanks for all you have done to help so many patients and their families. The facial relief seen when they receive the gas cards and the smile that comes as they realize that they will be able to have a little financial cushion in their budget – I tell each of them it is a gift from MGroup and each sends hugs and overflowing thanks to all of you for helping them during these challenging times of their lives.“ Again, well done Mteam!
