Todd Carr Pivots from Events Industry to Entrepreneurship with Fresh Coat Painters Following COVID-19 Shutdowns
Before COVID-19 hit, Todd Carr was managing hospitality teams, helping corporations host impressive and seamless events, and even wrangling the demands of brides. Now he’s looking forward to using his more than 20 years of events, management and customer service experience as the owner of a new business – Fresh Coat Painters of Metro Chicago.
“When COVID-19 put a halt to the hospitality industry, I realized I had an opportunity to do something new and to be an even bigger part of this community,” Carr said. “My level of experience working with clients, managing teams and exceeding expectations makes me uniquely qualified to run a home improvement company. While it may not seem like there are many parallels between the two industries, the truth is that any great home improvement experience requires top-notch customer service, high-quality work and exceptional communications. That’s what I’m looking forward to bringing to this business and to this industry.”
