He is driven to see that the company maintains its reputation as innovative problem solvers and operate at the highest level of integrity. Since its founding, Brook has grown to over 300 in-house employees, that manage and execute hundreds of projects a year, both large and small, while setting the standard for on-site safety and training programs in the restoration field.
