KINGSTON, RHODE ISLAND AND FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS…

Apollo Safety, Inc. a veteran-owned, Fall River, Mass.-based company specializing in safety products and services, recently announced it would again be a sponsor for University of Rhode Island’s College of the Environment and Life Sciences’ Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response training course for the 2014 spring semester.

As part of its sponsorship, Apollo Safety is offering the university a discount on various safety and health equipment and products for the class. In addition, Apollo Safety’s technicians will donate their time to preventative maintenance and calibration services for hazardous materials air monitoring equipment.

“We’re in the business of safety products and preventative services. Many times, despite taking precautions, situations arise that require the need for specialists to figuratively and literally come in and put out fires. As a company based in Fall River, which is a stone’s throw from Rhode Island, we are happy to invest in tomorrow’s safety, health, and environmental professionals,” said John V. Carvalho III, president of Apollo Safety, Inc.

For last year’s class, Apollo Safety deeply discounted  safety equipment purchased for the class and  also donated a variety of safety equipment, including chemical protective gloves and suits and respiratory protection equipment.

The 13-week course is taught by Corey Briggs, CIH, CET, a senior manager at ENVIRON International Corporation’s Boston Office and a 1980 URI graduate. In this course, Briggs and his team of instructors train students to safely anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control the various hazards and risks that may be encountered at hazardous waste sites and during hazardous substance emergency responses involving hazardous substances spills and releases.  The course also provides a wide variety of technical and practical information for those students wishing to eventually work in an EH&S role for the private and public sectors.

“It is a pleasure to see companies like Apollo Safety provide the equipment, materials, supplies, and technical assistance to support the education and training of our future environmental, health, and safety leaders,” said Briggs. “John and his team were very supportive in helping us with 2013 course which was a huge success. With the continued help of Apollo Safety we think this year’s class will be even better.”

NEW ALBANY, MS and HANOVER, MA…

As an undergrad at Ole Miss, John Stroud combined an old fashioned work ethic with a feathery shooting touch to become the leading scorer in the SEC two years running and the top draft choice of the Houston Rockets. The New Albany resident is hoping the former of those two things pay off again with his latest venture, the opening of a Lapels Dry Cleaning store and plant in his hometown this spring.

Lapels Dry Cleaning is an innovative, environmentally friendly dry cleaning company headquartered in Hanover, Massachusetts. Stroud, owner of John Stroud Insurance Agency, first heard of Lapels when he became frustrated over the lack of dry cleaning options in the area.

“I’m 6’7” and have a lot of my clothes tailor-made to fit me. When you’re paying more for clothes you want to take care of them so they last a while. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of dry cleaners around here. That’s when my entrepreneurial instincts kicked in and I began to do some research and that’s how I discovered Lapels Dry Cleaning,” said Stroud. “With its commitment to greener dry cleaning and customer service, I saw an opportunity for a business that would fill a real need in New Albany.”

Beyond the cleaning process, Stroud cites the business model and the responsiveness of Lapels Corporate Team for his decision to purchase a Lapels franchise.

“I’m still going to be running my insurance agency coaching my daughter’s basketball team at the high school, so it was important to find an opportunity where I didn’t have to be on-site 24/7,” said Stroud. “With the training provided by Lapels and my wife Billye Jean as my partner in the business, I’m very comfortable that this is the perfect business opportunity for us and that the people in my hometown of New Albany are going to love it.”

The new Lapels Dry Cleaning store and plant will be located on Bankhead Street in New Albany. Construction for the new building has begun and a spring 2014 opening is projected.

“John and Billye Jean have been wonderful to work with through these beginning stages and very receptive to coaching, which is rather ironic with John being an actual coach,” said Kevin Dubois, CEO of Lapels Dry Cleaning. “Seriously, we are very excited about this new location as it represents the first Lapels Dry Cleaning in the state of Mississippi. Something tells me with John and Billye Jean leading the way, it will not be the only one.”

Wilmington, DE – Viamark Advertising announced today that media and advertising pro Katie Loizeaux will head up its newest franchise office in Wilmington, DE.

After developing a love for the ad business, she followed her then general manager to 99.5 WJBR in Wilmington. In 2007, Katie left WJBR to gain experience in a bigger market as an account executive for Philadelphia’s KYW Newsradio for two years before returning to WJBR.

“Katie’s unique experience, along with Viamark’s  tools and resources, offers a fresh approach to businesses starving for effective, yet cost-attainable campaigns,” said Viamark’s Director of Franchising and Co-Founder Glenn Anderson. “That’s something for which Viamark has developed a well-earned reputation over the years.”

As a new franchise owner, Loizeaux is excited to get started. “The Viamark training program was excellent. With all the sales tools and systems that were provided to me I’m ready to jump in and start meeting with new potential clients. Plus my insider perspective of the broadcasting industry, unique knowledge of the Wilmington market, and personal relationships with station managers, sales managers and account executives inherently will give my clients more bang for their media buck,” says Loizeaux.

“Recruiting outstanding talent and experience is what makes Viamark’s model so successful. Katie is a prime example of this, and a valuable asset to any business that partners with her,” said Anderson. “We’re very excited that Wilmington, DE is now part of our growing roster of east coast markets.”

Viamark Advertising franchisee candidates should have five plus years media sales and/or management experience or five plus years ad agency experience in account management and/or business development.  Other helpful attributes and background include local market knowledge and contacts, creative and strategic thinking, composed and capable of managing multiple tasks at once and a positive and outgoing attitude.
