New G&S Team Members<br />

RICH ALLEGER—Account Executive<br />

Rugby players tend to show up to work on Mondays<br />

with fresh wounds that advertise another<br />

weekend spent living life to its fullest. When he’s<br />

not in the scrum himself, Rich is coaching his<br />

collegiate team on to victory, and if not victory,<br />

then at least on to a rowdy good time. Rich deals<br />

directly with our clients, serving their needs and<br />

keeping them entertained.<br />

ZACH ROTH—ERP Specialist<br />

As we grow, we’re always looking for ways to do<br />

things better. Zach was recruited to handle the<br />

transition from our existing accounting and CRM<br />

systems to a new ERP program that will integrate<br />

these functions and allow us to assist you in the<br />

most streamlined way possible.<br />

Zach is originally from Charlotte, NC, and enjoys<br />

fishing, golfing and hanging out with friends and<br />

family.<br />

G&S Invades Jacksonville<br />

We’ve opened a business office in<br />

Jacksonville Beach.<br />

We still have our nursery and some<br />

office operations in Lake City, but<br />

now a lot of our sales and administrative<br />

staff will be based in our<br />

Jacksonville Beach location.<br />

Our phone system now rings at<br />

both locations, so you can still<br />

reach any team member by calling<br />

our Lake City number. You won’t<br />

even know if we’re speaking to<br />

you from Lake City or Jacksonville<br />

Beach unless you ask.<br />

The decision to open a satellite<br />

office was spurred by a number<br />

of factors. We were already outgrowing<br />

our office space here in<br />

Lake City, so further expansion<br />

was soon going to be necessary.<br />

Since some of our team members<br />

were commuting every day from<br />

the Jacksonville area, it seemed<br />

like a smart move to add the space<br />

where we could provide shorter<br />

commutes for those who didn’t<br />

need to be here at the nursery. It<br />

also was an attractive idea that we<br />

could recruit good talent from both<br />

Lake City and Jacksonville.<br />

The benefit of having a larger pool<br />

of applicants has already begun to<br />

pay off. Both of the new faces you<br />

see on the opposite page are folks<br />

that we’ve been able to hire from<br />

the Jax area.<br />

Some of our Lake City office<br />

folks have taken advantage of the<br />

opportunity to relocate to Jacksonville.<br />

They liked the thought of<br />

moving to a bigger city, and they<br />

were grateful for the opportunity<br />

to change their zip code without<br />

disrupting their work lives.<br />

Our two offices are very closely<br />

connected and it often feels no different<br />

than if we were situated on<br />

different floors of the same building<br />

rather than 85 miles apart.<br />

Cheers!<br />
