TAMARAC, Fl. —June 23, 2022– PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchise systems, today announced it has reached an agreement with President and COO, Steve White, to extend his contract for an additional five years. Since joining the company in 2013, White has helped PuroClean to reach record growth and milestones.

“Steve White is an incredible leader. Under his leadership, PuroClean has emerged into a top-performing company serving home and business owners in communities all across the U.S. and Canada,” said Mark W.

We look forward to another five years of Steve’s servant leadership as we continue along our journey of building a world-class brand.”

White has more than 35 years in franchising, working across teams to build culture and strengthen franchise organizations from within. A U.S. Army veteran, White’s commitment to veteran empowerment and advancement has been showcased by his roles on the International Franchise Association (IFA)’s VetFran Committee. Founded in 1991, VetFran has paved the way to help many military veterans understand business ownership through the vehicle of franchising.

“When I joined PuroClean nearly 10 years ago, I saw an opportunity to build the brand by providing true servant leadership to both our franchise owners and the communities they serve. We have learned so much and have overcome many hurdles as a growing organization, not to mention realizing our most successful years yet during a global pandemic,” said White. “I couldn’t possibly be more proud of the support team we have in place, and I am thankful for the opportunity to continue this incredibly rewarding journey alongside our visionary leaders Mark Davis and Frank Torre.”

Throughout his career, Steve White has been involved at every level of franchising, from big organizations and small brands to franchise ownership himself. His experience in franchising has been fundamental in his leadership at PuroClean, where he has built successful teams to better support the needs of franchise owners in all four corners of the country. He has driven new growth that tripled average unit sales by strengthening PuroClean’s franchise systems. White is the ultimate communicator, bridging the gap between corporate support teams and networking groups designed for franchises to collaborate including the Brand Ambassador team, the Network Leadership Council, the President’s Circle, the Women’s Growth Group, and more. Together, White believes that any challenge can be overcome for the betterment of the organization through a ‘One Team’ approach.

Since joining PuroClean in 2013, White has led the company to break multiple consecutive records, from being named a Top Franchise by Franchise Business Review for four years in a row, to ranking within the Top 100 in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 ranking.
