Joining Hudema at PuroClean are Joshua Flores and Gabriel Lugo, who have been hired as regional directors. As part of their new role, Flores and Lugo will help onboard new franchise owners and advise them on their business, as well as provide ongoing support in the field to ensure individual success for new and existing franchise owners in their assigned territories.

“Our regional directors are a direct line of communication to PuroClean franchise owners for support and guidance along the way. They are an integral part of the PuroClean culture and help ensure our franchise owners are set up to service their local communities with superior property restoration services,” said White. “Both possessing valuable leadership and training experience, we are confident that Joshua and Gabriel will be great additions to the PuroClean team.”
