TFMoran Hosts August Network PM for Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce

TFMoran proudly celebrated hosting the Greater Manchester of Commerce Network PM event for the 19th consecutive year on Thursday, August 20th. Over 200 chamber members, guests, TFMoran staff, and their families enjoyed an amazing summer barbecue on the front lawn of the Bedford office. “Growing Business in New Hampshire” was this year’s theme and it focused on some TFMoran’s projects over the last year.  These projects include a major new distribution center, a new manufacturing facility, a Whole Foods market, a new University library, a grand hotel, and many multi-family residences. TFMoran’s engineers, surveyors and landscape architects were on hand to talk about our recent projects and how we play a critical role in growing New Hampshire’s economy.

The Wine’ing Butcher did a great job grilling steak tips, burgers and dogs, while The Inside Scoop topped off dinner with their delicious ice cream, and it was a perfect night for ice cream! The Royal Bouquet had two beautiful flower arrangements that were included in the door prizes. All three businesses are located at the French-Atwood Marketplace in Bedford.

The Chamber president Michael Skelton introduced Dylan Cruess, TFMoran’s Chief Operating Officer, who welcomed everyone and acknowledged the TFM staff for their hard work in making this event a success.

TFMoran Survey Vans have Roof Mounted Safety Lights

When someone notices you, it is much more likely they will avoid you!  TFMoran’s survey vans are often parked on the side of roads and while we have had yellow flashing roof lights on the front our vans for many years, we discovered that cars traveling in the same direction as our parked vans, could not see the front lights.  In response to this potential safety hazard, TFMoran has installed yellow and white flashing light bars on the back of primary survey vans.
