Spotlight Achievement: ABC National Top 100 Contractors of 2024 Happy Retirement James Keith! After 24 years of dedicated service, we would like to announce the retirement of James Keith from MCI. When James joined MCI, he brought his extensive experience from a 20-year career at Northern Telecom in Durham before it closed its doors. Initially excelling in our Construction group, James spent his first decade as a Construction project manager, doing most all the larger out of the ground building and Tenant Improvement projects. In response to our growth in Raleigh, James skillfully transitioned to manage our Raleigh Service Group, expanding it through dedicated sales and customer service. He also adeptly managed our truck fleet, ensuring all vehicles were “ready to roll.” After a brief personal leave in 2019, James returned to take on the role of Field Support Coordinator, providing the service technician team and customers the benefit of his deep knowledge and expertise. James's straight-shooting style, coupled with his memorable "Southern-isms" and life lessons, will be greatly missed by his peers. We wish him the very best in his new venture; RETIRED!

This Platinum Level award is one of the highest accolades we can achieve, underscoring our dedication to safety and operational excellence. Furthermore, for the second year running, MCI has earned the Accredited Quality Contractor designation from ABC National. This prestigious recognition not only highlights our quality and excellence but also sets us on course to be named as a Top Performer in our industry by ABC National for the second consecutive year. Our Platinum Safety designation is particularly noteworthy. According to the ABC 2023 Safety Performance Report, MCI is on average 688% safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average, a remarkable statistic that places us among the elite 547 merit shop construction contractors nationwide to achieve this status. A milestone worth celebrating is our safety record: MCI has surpassed two full years without a lost time accident. This is a monumental achievement in our industry and a clear reflection of our team's commitment to safety and vigilance. Congratulations to everyone at MCI for these outstanding accomplishments. Your dedication and hard work have not only set a high bar in our industry but also contributed to a safer, more efficient, and quality-driven work environment.

Acerca de BACK TO MAIN Work, Meet Life. The most important part of who we are is outside of working hours. Let's recognize that too. Though you might spend a large portion of your time on the clock for your work team, you lead a whole life out there that doesn't include MCI or Gamut. So let's celebrate the good news, exciting updates, welcome new babies, see your pets, watch your kid make that soccer goal, and even share in the tough stuff that could use a little support. We could all use a moment to smile, celebrate, and just be human. Here's the space to do it! Let's go Gamut Marathoner, Katrina Ramey! Congratulations are in order for Katrina Ramey, who has impressively completed the Chicago Marathon! Her dedication and hard work paid off with an outstanding finish time of 04:15:19. This achievement is not only a testament to her physical endurance but also her unwavering determination and commitment to excellence. Katrina's accomplishment is an inspiration to us all, showcasing the remarkable results of perseverance and discipline. We are incredibly proud of her and look forward to celebrating more of her achievements in the future. Well done, Katrina! 🎉🏃♀️ Congrats, Bobby! Congratulations to Bobby Gudger for securing first place in the kayak category at the Crafting for Kids Canoe, Kayak, SUP race held on October 7, 2023. Bobby's dedication to his own health and fitness journey not only brought him this well-deserved accolade but also shone a spotlight on two remarkable charities. The Masonic Home for Children at Oxford: This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Masonic Home for Children in Oxford, NC. A beacon of hope and support, the home has sheltered over 11,000 children throughout its history. Currently, it serves as a nurturing abode for approximately 80 children. Beyond providing a roof over their heads, the organization has extended its support to over 27,000 children this year alone, offering various forms of aid and care. Gold Star Family/Mothers Recognition: October holds special significance as it's Gold Star Family/Mothers month, a decade-long tradition honoring the resilience of families who have lost a parent in military or law enforcement service. This program plays a crucial role in supporting teens during some of their most challenging times, acknowledging the sacrifices made by their loved ones in service to our country. Kitty looking for a home! The Rukse family is at it again, extending a helping hand, one cat at a time! We'd like to introduce you to Jule, a charming young ginger kitty who appeared in late October. He wasn't microchipped and, unfortunately, no one seems to be searching for him. He may have been lost or left behind, but we've made sure to provide him with food and shelter in the meantime. Jule has shown interest in becoming an indoor cat, but our household has reached its limit for permanent furry residents. However, we're collaborating with a local rescue to offer him temporary indoor fostering until a forever home is found. For anyone interested in adopting this delightful and handsome guy, please reach out to us (crukse@mcihvac.com ). He was recently taken to the vet, where he was neutered and had his vaccinations updated. He tested negative for common feline diseases and is currently being socialized with other cats. We haven't observed his interactions with children, so a home without young kids would probably be preferable for him.

That legacy has been carried forward by all the leaders who followed him, ensuring that our commitment to putting people first remains at the core of everything we do. It’s no surprise to me that MCI earned this distinction because I see, every day, how much we care about each other’s success.

Acerca de BACK TO MAIN Work, Meet Life. The most important part of who we are is outside of working hours. Let's recognize that too. Celebrating New Beginnings in Our Gamut Family! We have some heartwarming news to share in our latest family update! First off, Joey Aldrich, a dedicated member of our Gamut customer support team, welcomed his baby girl, Aurora, into the world on February 1, 2024. We're all smiles over the adorable picture below featuring Aurora and her big sister. (Left) In another happy announcement, Lisa Simmons, also from our customer support team, embraced a new title as a grandmother on the rare and special day of February 29, 2024. Her granddaughter, Amelia, has made this Leap Year extra memorable. Check out this heartwarming picture of Lisa with her little "Leap Ling." (Right) Please join us in congratulating both Joey and Lisa on these wonderful family milestones! Lacey Knapp and Finley Lacey Knapp and Finley 1/6 This Month's Paw-some News from the Editor's Desk! In a desperate bid to fill the page (and, let's be honest, to show off), I've commandeered this space to introduce the latest, furriest member of the Knapp household - meet Finley! Our "Gotcha Day" celebration was on February 7th, marking the day this adorable mix of Coonhound, Boxer, and Pitbull made our home her forever home. At 9 months old, Finley is a blend of hound intelligence, Boxer enthusiasm, and Pitbull love, making every day an adventure filled with energy, smarts, and cuddles. Finley's journey to us was made possible by the amazing folks at Saving Grace Animal Rescue in Wake Forest, NC. If you're in the vicinity and thinking of expanding your family with a four-legged friend, I couldn't recommend them more highly. The Shih-Poo Coup: How Sammy Stole the Show (and Dane's Heart) at MCI In a daring attempt to one-up the editorial desk's recent puppy news, the Osburn clan has made a bold move by introducing their own bundle of joy (and inevitable chaos). Enter Sammy, the pint-sized Shih Tzu-Poodle mix, or as those in the know call him, a "Shih-Poo." This little furball, pictured on the right alongside his sister, recently graced the Raleigh office with his presence, and let's just say, he was quite the hit—especially with PM Stephen Sellers, who might just have found a new best friend. (I sense a new series... Puppies and Project Managers? Who's in??) At just 8 weeks old, Sammy has already shown signs of becoming the office's most adorable troublemaker. While Dane Osburn might put on the façade of a man coerced into dog-dad duties, it's clear for all to see that Sammy has firmly wrapped his tiny paws around Dane's heart. So, as the newsletter becomes an unofficial pet showcase, let's give a warm welcome to Sammy. Dane, you can pretend all you want, but we're onto you—you've totally fallen for the puppy eyes. Here's to Sammy's future adventures and the inevitable "who's rescued who" story unfolding at the Osburn residence!
