Thomas Ricciardelli of SelecTech, Inc.

AVON, MA and NEW MARKET, ONTARIO, CANADA…

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, announced a representative agreement with Brock Electronics of Newmarket, Ontario, Canada.

Founded in 1967, Brock Electronics is an online supplier of premium equipment, consumables, software and engineering services to the electronics and general manufacturing industries. Under this agreement, Brock Electronics will sell SelecTech’s complete line of ESD flooring products, including FreeStyle ESD™.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Brock Electronics. We love their culture and their commitment to bringing real value to their customers.  We think they’re a great fit with our mission and will help us develop a strong presence in Canada.” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Inc. “We’re looking forward to a mutually beneficial partnership.”

The partnering further solidifies SelecTech’s place as an international ESD flooring supplier. SelecTech recently announced it had doubled its ESD flooring sales in Europe. The company first entered that market in 2013.

“Our mission is quite simple. We like to work with good products from good people so that we can deliver high value to good customers.  SelecTech fits our mission to a T and we look forward to bringing their first-rate, earth-friendly products to Brock Electronics customers,” said Paul Walsh, Senior Partner at Brock Electronics.

SelecTech flooring products are made using recycled material and are 100 percent recyclable. Utilizing a breakthrough interlocking technology, SelecTech products completely bypass the need for adhesives and floor prep to install or replace flooring. This dramatically reduces installation times because old flooring can be left in place and machinery and furniture does not have to be completely moved or removed for installation.

In addition, SelecTech offers anti-static flooring products, specifically the aforementioned  FreeStyle ESD products. This type of flooring is typically used by industries such as electronics manufacturing, communications, aerospace, biotech and healthcare where electronics and sensitive data must be protected.

BOSTON, BRAINTREE AND QUINCY, MA…

Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro P.C., a dynamic full-service law firm with a team of attorneys advising individuals, businesses and families throughout Quincy, Braintree, the South Shore and metro Boston areas, recently added Lunch ‘n Learn sessions to its speaker’s bureau offerings. The Firm had previously announced a Speaker’s Bureau, consisting of Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro, P.C. attorneys, to speak at events for professional as well as civic organizations.

“The Lunch ‘n Learn sessions, which will typically take place during lunch hours, involve our attorneys visiting local businesses to speak for about 30-45 minutes on legal topics that directly impact their staff and business,” said Paul Barbadoro, a partner at the Firm. “One of the first topics we would like to offer to speak to local businesses about is the recently passed ballot question 4.”

Ballot question 4 would allow workers to earn one hour of paid time off for personal illness or medical appointments, for an illness in the family, or to deal with a domestic abuse situation for every 30 hours worked. Employees will not be able to earn more than 40 paid hours per year. The law, passed by voters on November 4, will go into effect in July 2015.

“This law is a game changer for a number of smaller businesses,” said Barbadoro. “The Lunch ‘n Learn sessions can give business owners and staff an overview of what the new law will mean.”

In addition to the Lunch ‘n Learn sessions, the Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro Speaker’s Bureau covers a number of small business topics, including: Legal Do’s and Don’ts for Start-ups; Family Business: Passing it on to the Next Generation; How to Avoid Employee Wrongful Termination Claims; Protecting Intellectual Property; Common Mistakes When Naming a Business; Does My Business Need an Attorney (the answer will surprise you); Sole Proprietor? LLC? C-Corp? How to Choose; Complex Business Litigation; Personal Injury Law; Real Estate Litigation; and more.

“We view the Speaker’s Bureau as an extension of our community service program. That’s why we typically do not charge a fee for professional organizations and never for civic organizations.” said Barbadoro.

To arrange for a Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro, P.C. attorney for a Lunch ‘n Learn session or to speak at your upcoming event, you can contact Paul Barbadoro at 781-848-9610 or by e-mail at BBBinfo@bbb-lawfirm.com with the word “Speaker” in the subject line.

FocalPoint Coaching tabs Greg DeSimone as director of finance education

Greg DeSimone
Greg DeSimone

MANSFIELD, MA…

FocalPoint, a national business coaching organization founded by business guru Brian Tracy, recently named Greg DeSimone, a FocalPoint franchise owner/strategic partner and director of Catapult Advisory Group, as its director of finance education. In this role, DeSimone, a self-described “recovering CPA”, will provide finance coaching and support to FocalPoint business coaches and their clients.

“Many FocalPoint coaches have backgrounds in sales, marketing or HR. While there might be some finance and budgeting involved for people with those backgrounds, it’s not as in-depth as the knowledge that a CPA possesses,” said DeSimone. “Through one-on-one coaching, webinars and workshops, we can get FocalPoint coaches up to speed so they can develop their financial skills and expertise and provide more value to their clients.”

Via this strategic alliance, DeSimone will work coaches on such areas as: generating industry benchmark reporting; preparing comparative industry benchmark narratives; factoring financial projections over a five-year period; and developing an exit strategy and business valuations.

In addition to providing support for FocalPoint coaches, DeSimone will provide that same service for his clients as well.

“One of the things coaches often recommend to clients is to learn how to delegate,” said DeSimone. “It’s not a sign of deficiency for a FocalPoint coach to delegate the finance coaching element of their practice to an expert. If anything, it sets a great example and puts the resources a client needs right at their fingertips.”

Additionally, DeSimone will also develop a series of webinars and workshops both for FocalPoint coaches and their clients.

Besides being a CPA, DeSimone has more than 18 years of financial and management experience. He’s also a Brian Tracy certified business coach—a certification that requires more than 150 hours of study to obtain and maintain.

For additional information on Catapult Advisory Group, contact Greg DeSimone at (508) 618-4575 or visit www.CatapultAdvisoryGroup.com.

Conserve Water, Save Money – Tips from Winters Home Services Plumbing Pros

November 5, 2014 //  by admin

wintersVans1The average family uses approximately 300 gallons of water per day (about 30 percent of that usage is outdoor) according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. From showers and toilets to washing machines, dishwashers and more, that’s a lot of water.

Winters Home Services, an award-winning provider of plumbing, heating, cooling, and air quality services to residents throughout the greater Boston area, advises homeowners on how to reduce water and energy consumption and save money. Since the bathroom is where the most water is consumed on a daily basis, Winters offers these tips:

Replace older showerhead models – There’s a much higher cost associated with older showerheads, which use more than five gallons of water per minute. Not only is water wasted, it puts a lot of demand on your water heater and drives up energy bills. Nowadays, the ultra low-flow showerhead models (displaying the WaterSense label) use only two gallons of water per minute and perform better than ever.

Save water and time spent cleaning – Consider upgrading your toilet to one that uses less water per flush. The Department of Energy standard is one point six gallons per flush, but if you have an older toilet, you may be using well over three gallons per flush. There are many options available that use a lot less water and have the added benefit of staying cleaner longer. Some of the most innovative models on the market today include TOTO’s Double Cyclone that uses a little over one and a quarter gallons per flush and has a dual nozzle water propulsion system (ensuring that cleaner bowl) to TOTO’s eWater+, which utilizes electrolyzed water (a proven disinfectant), reducing the need for harsh cleaning chemicals.

Don’t waste water waiting for it to heat up – We’ve all been there. If you turn on the sink or shower and wait anywhere from 30 seconds to over a minute for the water to heat up, precious gallons of clean water (and your money) go down the drain. Consider replacing your traditional storage water heater with a Tankless Water Heater or installing a Hot Water Recirculating System. Either one will ensure immediate delivery of hot water when you need it and provide significant water and energy savings.

Fix those leaks – If you have a leaky faucet, toilet or pipe in your home, fix it immediately before it becomes a bigger and more expensive problem.  Even if it’s a slow leak, it can account for more than 10 percent of your water usage, which means a significant amount of your money (like the water) trickles out of your pocket over time. If you don’t know if you have a leak, your water meter readings are the clue. When water is not in use, check the meter twice in a two-hour time span. If the readings change, then there is a leak somewhere in your home.

Monitor, measure and control your systems with new technology – Winters’ state-of-the-art CarePlus Home Monitoring program enables homeowners to monitor, measure and access the most important systems – from water sensors (which can detect leaks and usage), home energy meters, and carbon monoxide detectors to thermostats, lights, door locks and more- through any Smart device. It’s one of the easiest ways to conserve energy and maximize savings.

SelecTech, Inc. floors new Geisinger Health Systems lab

November 3, 2014 //  by admin

Thomas Ricciardelli
Thomas Ricciardelli of SelecTech, Inc.

DANVILLE, PA and AVON, MA…

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, recently began work on a 22,000 square-foot installation at the new Geisinger Health Systems medical laboratory at the company’s Danville, Pennsylvania campus.

The project calls for SelecTech’s FreeStyle Biolock flooring to be installed over low-rise access flooring provided by its installation partner Tate. Ewing Cole is the architect for the entire $50 million project. The Geisinger Medical Laboratory building will open in Spring 2015.

“The use of BioLock over access flooring in this new state-of-the-art laboratory will provide the best of all worlds,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Inc. “The access flooring will provide Geisinger’s IT team with flexibility for their underfloor air, water and gas utilities, as well as wire management for their power and data systems. Our BioLock flooring complements that flexibility with a wide range of benefits from both an operational and a functional side, most notably that when applied with our seam sealer is 100 percent watertight—an essential specification for any laboratory flooring.”

BioLock tiles employ a patented interlocking technology that enables adhesive-free installation. This feature allows for faster installation and the access floor panels are not required to be coated with adhesive, which can leak between the panel seams, stick the panels together and clog the corner screws. Panel access, moves and changes are much easier when flooring adhesive is not slowing things down. Because each tile has its own commercial grade polyurethane finish maintenance is quicker, easier and less expensive over the lifecycle of the floor. That kind of flexibility and cost savings is a welcomed benefit with any access flooring.

“Other floorings may have been less expensive but when you consider the maintenance element, BioLock was far more cost-effective,” said TJ Ginieczki, project manager for Ewing Cole, the architect for Geisinger’s new medical laboratory building.

FreeStyle BioLock tiles are made from 70 percent recycled materials and are 100 percent recycylable. Other BioLock features include: Enhanced ergonomics and sound reduction; meets CA 1350 indoor air quality protocol; third-party IAQ certification by MAS Certified Green; and more. FreeStyle BioLock flooring comes with a 10-year commercial wear warranty.
