What’s in the news at PRO? Here are some milestones and events worth mentioning

Congratulation to our incredible VP Finance Amy Petta on her recent marriage! 2016 will be Amy’s 20th year at PRO and we are super lucky to have her in the PRO family and to know her as a person. Congrats Amy!

The leader of our extremely busy paintline, Terri Hayes, has been with PRO for 25 years! Terri has the amazing ability to remain calm, cool, and collected, even under the busiest of times. Did you ever forget to order painted screws? Terri has most likely saved your bacon a time or two!

Suuuuucheck! Dave Suchecki is going to be married in April 2016. Since Dave started at PRO in 1983, he has had a lot of nicknames. There was “Wrong Way Suchecki” after his initial delivery run got him back to the shop at 8 PM, or “The Mighty Sucheck,” for hitting his sales forecast 18 months in a row (a PRO record). Dave has been with our Indianapolis branch since 1989 after starting in Arlington Heights, IL over 32 years ago! Congrats Dave!
