TAMPA, FL — John Duffy and Steve Howerton, co-owners of City Wide Facility Solutions in Tampa Bay, received the prestigious Platinum Market award at the company's 18th annual franchise convention. Originally scheduled to take place in Tucson, Arizona, City Wide quickly adapted to host its first ever virtual convention. The theme for this year was "The First Choice," which aligns with the company's vision to be the first choice for every community member it interacts with, including franchise owners, employees, clients, independent contractors and vendors. During a year of uncertainty, City Wide held true to its mission, becoming a trusted partner for more than 12,500 clients, 6,800 independent contractors and 23,000 combined associates nationwide. "From the start, Steve and I have been committed to growing our office so we could contribute our services to as much of the Tampa Bay community as possible," said Duffy. "It feels very rewarding to have achieved the Platinum Market award through all the challenges the past year posed." During the highly anticipated awards ceremony, the City Wide team recognized Duffy and Howerton for their exceptional achievements in sales, operations excellence and other metrics. The Tampa Bay office earned "Platinum Market" status for exceeding $4.6 million in annual revenue growth, posting a client retention rate greater than 92 percent, exceeding revenue per capita targets, being in good standing with the franchisor, positively contributing to the system and making charitable contributions (time, money, and goods) to their local community. Playing an instrumental role in boosting local economies, City Wide Facility Solutions puts business back into the community by partnering with smaller, independent and locally owned companies to execute services. Aligning with independent companies ensures clients have access to more specialized services, while providing an opportunity for small businesses to develop alongside a reputable national company.
