CNUC Growth Creates New Opportunities with a New Division By Derek Vannice, President and COO CNUC recently added an additional division splitting western operations into two divisions. One division will encompass all of California (Division 10) and the second division will cover the Pacific Northwest and the mountain states (Division 15). Ben Keck will be the Regional Manager for Division 10 and Patrick Larsen, recently promoted, will serve as Regional Manager for Division 15. The reason for the split is the rapid growth and expansion of the company. We have expanded the number of Consulting Utility Foresters (CUFs) with each of our clients in California as well as increased the number of clients and CUFs in the rest of the western region. This growth stems from our focus on exceeding client expectations. We could not do this without high quality employees and a strong management team. We believe in spending time in the field with our employees, providing training and professional development, as well as building relationships and visiting clients to ensure we are meeting and exceeding expectations.
By adding a division, we can provide additional management in the field, closer to both our employees and clients, accomplishing both objectives. With the new division also comes an increased number of supervision and management positions, providing growth opportunities for our employees.
We believe in spending time in the field with our employees, providing training and professional development, as well as building relationships and visiting clients to ensure we are meeting and exceeding expectations. All our promotions came from within our company – a fact of which we are very proud. Now that we have our expanded management team in place in the two divisions, we look forward to continued growth and even more professional opportunities for our employees.
