After nearly 30 years at TFMoran, Inc., Jeffrey M. Kevan, Principal and Civil Engineering Department Manager, has announced his intent to retire from the company at the end of 2022.

“I’ve worked at TFMoran for nearly 30 years, almost half of that time in a leadership capacity, and since 2013 as a principal. I feel privileged to have worked with such a talented group of people,” says Kevan.

TFMoran President Bob Duval adds, “We wish Jeff the very best in his retirement. Throughout his tenure, we have all benefited from his engineering expertise and strong commitment to our clients. Over the years, his many contributions have helped make TFMoran the strong and well-respected company we are today. In the past few years, Jeff helped us put together a smooth and seamless transition team, as a result Nick Golon, PE in our Bedford office, will be assuming Jeff’s role of Civil Engineering Department Manager, and continuing Jeff’s strong tradition of civil engineering excellence.”

Nick Golon has over 21 years of experience in civil engineering, with the last 16 years at TFMoran. His engineering background includes a diverse cross-section of projects in the residential, commercial, industrial, and energy markets, ranging up to several hundred million dollars in value.

“Although Jeff will be greatly missed, says Nick, “we look forward to building upon the foundation he has helped create here at TFMoran. The company is well-positioned to continue its growth as an industry leader, a testament to the legacy he so well deserves.”

REI Officially Coming to Market & Main in Bedford

By Jonathan Phelps, Union Leader

REI Co-op is the first store to formally announce it will open at the newest phase of Market and Main in Bedford.

The specialty outdoor retailer expects to open at 125 S. River Road next fall. The name stands for Recreational Equipment Inc.

The 22,000-square-foot store will feature a full-service bike shop staffed by certified mechanics and a ski and snowboard shop with professional tuning, waxing and repairs, according to a news release. In addition to discounts at the bike and ski shop, REI Co-op members receive unlimited free machine waxes and free flat-tire repair (labor only).

Right now, Market and Main is home to Trader Joe’s, Friendly Toast and a Carrabba’s Italian Grill that predates the development, which was a former Macy’s.

REI shoppers can order online and pick up at the store. Curbside pickup also will be available.

REI has 78,900 members in New Hampshire, including 3,400 members in Bedford and Manchester. You don’t need to be a member to make purchases at REI, but members get dividends on their purchases.

The new store will also offer programs and gear rentals.

In 2019, REI opened its first New Hampshire location in North Conway at the Settlers Green shopping center. Since then, REI has donated $24,000 in New Hampshire to Granite Outdoor Alliance, Mount Washington Valley Adaptive Sports and Mount Washington Valley Trails Association.

The closest store to Bedford presently is in Reading, Mass., about 43 miles away.

REI, headquartered near Seattle, has 178 locations in 42 states and the District of Columbia. The company expects to hire approximately 50 employees in Bedford.

Happy Halloween from TFMoran!

October 31, 2022 | 0 Comments | , ,

TFMoran celebrated the end of the week with some Halloween festivities last Friday!

The Bedford office enjoyed an assortment of mac and cheese from Mr. Mac’s! Those with a sweet tooth enjoyed Maryanne’s festive desserts: witch’s finger cookies and oatmeal carmelitas!

A costume contest was held, Alex was the funniest for his “three-hole punch” costume, Julia was the spookiest for her “Georgie” from It, and Robin and Maryanne were best overall for their “Mary Mary Quite Contrary” group costume! Maryanne dressed in her gardening attire, while Robin represented her flowers! Coworkers faced off in Pumpkin Strongman – seeing who could hold the pumpkin the longest. Zac won the contest with a whopping time of 2:26, with Nick coming in a close second at 2:20.

The Portsmouth office also celebrated with their costumes – check out their festive photo above!

Happy Halloween from your friends at TFM!
