Today I was honored to sit down with longtime LoCo Think Tank member Glenn Frank, the CEO of Fort Collins Heating & Air Conditioning, along with his key leadership team today and into the future - Anthony Taylor and Jesse Frank. Anthony serves as President & COO, and Jesse as Quality Assurance Supervisor.
We spent some time on the evolution of the business in recent years - the addition of plumbing - and then electrical to the Fort Collins Heating & Air offerings - and the relatively recent launch of Origin Plumbing - Heating - Cooling - Electrical and their efforts to grow market share outside of Fort Collins and the immediate surrounding area. We talked about technology and trends in the industry, roles and responsibilities - and especially, the significance of saying yes to being a part of a multigenerational family business.
HVAC and Veterinary services are two industries that have been bought up like crazy by private equity in recent years, to the point where very few remain privately owned. It’s clear that Glenn and his boys are proud to continue the quality of service - and care for team and community - that family businesses are known for.
We chased some squirrels, had some laughs, and I learned a lot about business and family today - so please tune in and enjoy my conversation with Glenn & Jesse Frank and Anthony Taylor.
