Well-conditioned, well lit and a place you can relax and focus in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none; color: #333333; margin: 10px 0px 20px;\">If you stop and think about it, what do you do when you want to read? What if you want to meditate, think, write, relax, etc\u2026? You&#8221;ll usually seek out a place that historically allowed you to perform well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none; color: #333333; margin: 10px 0px 20px;\">As individuals do, companies also perform well when all of the previously mentioned attributes are in place. An area to sit and work in peace and comfort, all the while knowing that many of the keenest minds in the HVAC \u2013 Mechanical \u2013 Automation world are just a few steps away. With that said, we are excited about the new home of AirTight FaciliTech, Inc. We will be moving in around the middle of October.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none; color: #333333; margin: 10px 0px 20px;\"><strong>Why are we moving?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none; color: #333333; margin: 10px 0px 20px;\">World-class is a delivery standard that we have all read about, usually in terms of \u201cCustomer Experiences\u201d. Think hotels, air-lines, 1-800 phone support and any other thing that humans are involved with. It&#8217;s a measure that is pretty vague if you try to capture it on some survey or even write it. It must be experienced to be fully appreciated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none; color: #333333; margin: 10px 0px 20px;\">The flip side to that is a mental \u201cWorld Class Experience\u201d. You have all had one. Niagara Falls, Hoover Dam, your daughter\u2019s wedding, the son that finally graduated&#8230; It&#8217;s that special place where all seems right in the world, even if for a brief moment, where nothing was askew. The unbridled feelings are, for many, overwhelming. Hence the tears of joy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none; color: #333333; margin: 10px 0px 20px;\">In this day and age of uncertainty, lay-offs, financial giddiness and slow growth on whatever money you have been able to squirrel away, it&#8217;s really great to see companies make investments in a building or office space that gives their employees the tools and environment to really \u201cget stuff done\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none; color: #333333; margin: 10px 0px 20px;\"><strong>AirTight FaciliTech, as you probably know, has had a year of coming together, figuring it out, learning some really great techniques from one another and for sure, learned a thing or two not to do. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none; color: #333333; margin: 10px 0px 20px;\">The goal for our version of \u201cWorld Class Service\u201d is to be able to \u201cenable greatness from the inside out\u201d. That starts with the most productive area for all of the 75+ people to be housed in and operate out of. If the teams are to be able to focus on your problems, challenges, needs and growth ideas, being in a new state-of-the-art facility is surely a great place to start that endeavor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none; color: #333333; margin: 10px 0px 20px;\">Both of the existing facilities offered great environments for the respective companies. Now that everyone is going to be sitting under one new roof, we can only eagerly anticipate the added energies the \u201cjust down the hall strength\u201d can deliver.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none; color: #333333; margin: 10px 0px 20px;\"><strong>Please plan to come out to our Open House where you can witness, walk and talk about what we are investing in.<\/strong> The three key things are:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none; color: #333333; margin: 10px 0px 20px;\">\u2022 Our Customers and the services you need to run your business in the best manner<br \/>\n\u2022 The AtFt employees, investing so that we build upon the 16+ years of committed service to the industry<br \/>\n\u2022 Investing in Charlotte.
