RegasGroup Announces Addition of Amaya Fine to
accommodate Bay Area Expansion
RegasGroup Environmental Consultants is
very pleased to announce the addition of Business
Development Executive, Amaya Fine, to their
staff as of May 1, 2018.
“As RegasGroup has expanded into the East Bay
& North Bay we are proud to announce Amaya as
our new Business Development Executive,” stated
Business Development Manager, Andrea Latimer.
“She is a great addition and we are excited to
Amaya Fine
welcome her to TeamRegas!”
RegasGroup provides same day testing, results and reports for asbestos, lead,
mold and bacteria.
Amaya stated that she first got into the industry “just by chance. A friend with
whom I went to high school posted a job opening for a part-time admin in his
office. I applied, and there I was…in restoration! I worked the front desk for
about 10 months and then transitioned into Marketing,” she added.
Prior to taking that position, Ms. Fine said she had been “a stay at home mom
for 3 years”.
A Bay Area native, “born and raised”, Amaya earned her Bachelor of Arts
degree in Communication Studies from California State University at Sacramento.
Working in Marketing, then, is a perfect fit for her, she said.
“I feel like where I am with my whole job/career is my strongest accomplishment,”
she said with her big welcoming smile. “To find something that you
enjoy doing EVERYDAY is truly a blessing! The quote, ‘Choose a job you
love, you’ll never have to work a day in your life’ is so true!”
When not at work, Amaya’s focus is on her two daughters, Penelope (7) and
Scarlett (4). “When I’m not working they are my whole world. We spend tons
of time outdoors and love to travel! From bike rides around the neighborhood,
hiking Black Diamond Mines, beach days in Santa Cruz and visiting family in
Spain, we stay pretty busy.”

ERC Announces Addition of Hailey Ayres
Emergency Restoration & Cleaning (ERC), based
in the Sacramento area, is pleased to announce the
addition of Ms. Hailey Ayres, as a Systems Analyst,
to their team.
Relatively new to the property claims world, Hailey’s
big news is that she just achieved her Master’s
Degree, in Public Administration, from Cal State
Hayward.
“There’s been a huge emphasis in my Master’s
program on Organizational Management & Development,
which I am excited to incorporate into my
Hailey Ayres
new job here at ERC,” she stated. “As ERC’s Systems Analyst, my goal is to
help facilitate their inevitable growth this year.”
A native of Walnut Creek, CA, Hailey graduated from Las Lomas High School,
before attending University of California at Santa Barbara, where she earned
her Bachelors Degree in Sociology. Out of college she went to work for the
City of El Cajon, in the San Diego area.
She moved back after several years to the Bay area and went to work for Wingard
Construction, finding her way to the Claims industry.
She started in the accounting department and front desk at Wingard. She soon
advanced to become the Construction Coordinator, and then took on the role
as Marketing Manager when Katie Howard retired.
“Katie was the one who introduced me to the East Bay Claims Association, and
the industry,” she said with her infectious smile.
One of Hailey’s life goals is to one day become the Mayor of Walnut Creek.
Hailey has very effectively made her mark in the industry since she arrived on
the scene. “I have been in the industry for about 2 ½ years and am actively
involved on both the East Bay Claims and CCNC (Claims Conference of N.
California) Boards. I have valued those extra positions greatly as they have
allowed me to form a deeper connection to the industry as a whole as well as
the awesome people that are in it.”
She went on to explain how ERC has grown. “My boss, Kevin Manzer,
originally started his business as a Carpet Cleaning company called Always
Green Clean,” she said. “In the last 7 years, he has ventured in to the Insurance
Restoration industry as ERC (Emergency Restoration & Cleaning). ERC is a
one-stop-shop that can service claims from the start at Emergency Services, to
Water/Fire Restoration & Cleaning, to Contents, and on through the Reconstruction
phase.”
Though the company mainly services the greater Sacramento area, she said,
they have provided services for clients all over Northern California from Santa
Rosa, to Grass Valley, and even to Lake Tahoe.
“As employers we all understand the challenge in finding qualified candidates to
fill various positions,” ERC President, Mr. Manzer, stated. “When I originally
spoke with Hailey it was for an Xactimate report writer position. After only
five minutes of speaking with her I realized how intelligent, professional, and
confident in her abilities she was. 15 minutes into our conversation I had already
created a position specific for Hailey, and we are so excited to have her on board.”
Though she’s been quite busy, Hailey makes time for her personal interests and
hobbies. “When I am not studying or working (which feels rare these days!),
my favorite things are live music and being outdoors. On the weekends you can
catch me on a hike in the open space during the day and/or a concert or show
with friends at night.”
