We announced in the ever popular Daily Business News on Labor Day that we would be moving our base of operations (HQ) to Florida. While there is still much to be done, the first phase of that move is complete. My new office number is 863-213-4090, Soheyla's is 863-213-4077, other team member numbers remain the same. The new address is 4210 Arietta Lane, Lakeland, FL 33813. Lifestyle Factory Homes, LLC (the 'parent' for all of our publishing, consulting, training, website and marketing operations) is now a registered Florida based entity.
Please update that info in your contact for us, thank you.
As a forward looking statement, we plan to be here for roughly a year, get the lay of the land, and then build a custom factory-built home. It won't likely be much like the one my better half wants, which would be like Saw movie actress Betsy Russell's $1,999,999 stunner. But it will be nice. ;-)
If you haven't seen the photo spread and related article, please check it out at the link below, and pass it onto your circle of influence. It is part of the image changing effort we must all make our own to grow our industry anew!
Besides a move, the last few days were spent jetting to and from Freehold, NJ, where UMH had their annual meeting. Eugene Landy, Chairman of the Board, Sam Landy CEO, VP Chris Lindsey and the UMH's senior management team were kind enough to have me as their guest speaker. It was an energizing experience for me, and it looked like one for their very fine team.
We all got to know each other better, which is a good thing! We plan to do a column on their event, the parade that CEO Sam Landy led UMH was a key part of and their displayed show home in the days ahead.
With two more trips looming, ongoing client work, the HQ move details and much more to do, let me draw today's blog post to a close by suggesting you browse the Daily Business News, Industry in Focus, MHI and MHARR news modules for the latest.
Also, please check out the article by Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) VP Jason Boehlert in our Industry Voices guest blog on the progress being made with the CFPB and related HR 1779 efforts.
My fellow industry pros, our industry is advancing. The needed changes are not easy for some to accept, but they are necessary. So we all have plenty of work to do, let's learn our lessons, work smarter and make legislation like HR 1779 come to pass. ##
