August 11, 2023 | 0 Comments | , , ,

TFMoran staff came together to celebrate on Friday August 11th, as an end-of-the-work week celebration! Everyone came together to kick off the weekend by having some well-deserved fun! Burgers, hot dogs, watermelon, pasta salad, and potato salad were served!

We also held our second annual cornhole tournament and it was another hit! Each match came very close, but the duo of Kyle Roy (Senior Structural Engineer, Principal) and Marty Gavin (Survey Field Technician) came out on top, winning a Market Basket and Amazon gift card, and of course, the best prize… bragging rights!

We also distributed new TFM swag, colorful sunglasses! They came in just in time for the TGIF party, everyone enjoyed picking out their favorite color, and taking home a pair!

To finish off such a great party, Kona Ice came by with some ice-cold treats for everyone to enjoy. As always, the dedicated, hard-working TFMoran staff appreciated the break to catch up with co-workers and have a good time!

Bedford Staff Takes an Afternoon Break to Celebrate the Holidays

December 26, 2022 | 0 Comments | , ,

TFMoran’s Bedford employees showed their spirit at the TGIF holiday party, held last Friday just before our holiday break. Our favorite dishes from the Puritan Back Room were served along with some sweet homemade treats like sugar cookies, peppermint bark, and ginger snaps. A beautiful gingerbread house that Julia and Sophie decorated was also on display.

Those up for a fun activity enjoyed gift-unwrapping games hoping the box they opened would contain a prize! We played the “lucky layer game” where each participant gets to unwrap one layer of the gift and pass it on! Jason Hill was the lucky person to open the last layer, revealing a $25 gift card! We also played “name that holiday tune”, which Sophie and Rich both won!

Happy Holidays from all of us at TFM!

The Bedford office enjoyed an assortment of mac and cheese from Mr. Mac’s! Those with a sweet tooth enjoyed Maryanne’s festive desserts: witch’s finger cookies and oatmeal carmelitas!

A costume contest was held, Alex was the funniest for his “three-hole punch” costume, Julia was the spookiest for her “Georgie” from It, and Robin and Maryanne were best overall for their “Mary Mary Quite Contrary” group costume! Maryanne dressed in her gardening attire, while Robin represented her flowers! Coworkers faced off in Pumpkin Strongman – seeing who could hold the pumpkin the longest. Zac won the contest with a whopping time of 2:26, with Nick coming in a close second at 2:20.

February 14, 2022 | 0 Comments | , , ,

TFM employees gathered at the Bedford office on Friday to congratulate Susan on her retirement! After serving TFMoran for 20 years as Marketing Coordinator, she will be joining her husband Jonathan in retirement life. Although we are sad to see her go, we are excited for her!

Employees enjoyed chicken tenders, pasta salad, and stuffed mushrooms from the Puritan Back Room. Followed by a delicious chocolate cake (Susan’s favorite!) from Market Basket.

COO Dylan Cruess said a few words about just how crucial Susan’s work has been in the growth and recognizability of the company. Her bright, cheery attitude will be missed around the office! Former president Robert Cruess also spoke about the importance of marketing and graphics in our industry, something that Susan spearheaded in her early years at TFM.

We’d like to thank Susan for all that she has done and wish her the very best in retirement life!

December 21, 2021 | 0 Comments | , ,

TFMoran’s Bedford employees showed their holiday spirit at the TGIF Christmas party, held last Friday, December 17. Homestyle favorites were served from Mr. Mac’s, along with chicken tenders from the Puritan Back Room. A soundtrack of Christmas classics, new and old, played over the speakers, specially curated by Julia. And of course, what’s a Holiday Party without homemade sweets? Maryanne brought in an assortment of cookies – which disappeared fast!

Quite a few people wore their ugly Sweaters, and prizes were given out based on who had the most votes! Mike K. took the cake – a $75 Market Basket Gift Card, with his “flashy” pullover – complete with lights and tinsel! Morgan H. took the second prize – a $50 Amazon Gift Card, for her “seafaring” Santa Claus. And, a TFM holiday party wouldn’t be complete without a grand entrance from Jeff T., who took the third prize – a $25 Dunkin Donuts Gift Card, for his rustic rooster sweater!

In the spirit of giving, additional prizes were given away via drawing. Tom W. won a beautiful handmade cutting board, Morgan H. received a bottle of NH Maple Syrup, Jeff K. was thrilled to bring home assorted Lindt Chocolates, and Dylan will be trimming his home with a lovely red Poinsettia.

For those feeling the holiday spirit, a toy drive was put together in support of Toys for Tots.

TFM Celebrates Halloween with a TGIF Party!

November 2, 2021 | 0 Comments | , , ,

TFM celebrated the end of the week with some Halloween festivities last Friday! Employees enjoyed fall favorites from the Puritan Back Room including chicken tenders and mac & cheese! For those with a sweet tooth, Maryanne Murray brought in some festive desserts: witch’s finger cookies and mummy apple pies!

The winners of the Reese’s and candy corn jars were announced, which had been on display all week for employees to guess. Mike Krzeminski had the closest guess on the Reese’s, while Steve Bibeau was closest on the candy corn. Members from the Civil, Structural, and Landscape Architecture teams faced off to claim victory in the “Pumpkin Strongman” competition, which Structural Engineer Ezequiel Galvan won. Others tested their speed in mummy wrapping a colleague. Marty Gavin and Sharon Monahan won the prize with the quickest wrap, but Julia Chartier and Diane Martineau definitely earned style points! A few daring souls dressed in costume hoping to receive votes from their peers for the grand prize: a $50 gift card to Market Basket! Jeff Tate pulled out all the stops, sporting an inflatable piggyback on the witch costume, which was voted winner, although honorable mentions included Alex Croteau’s Indiana Jones and Chris Chiaramonte’s koala!

The TFM Portsmouth division also celebrated the spooky holiday with Halloween-themed festivities! Employees were invited to dress in costume and eat chilling snacks from Buffalo Wild Wings. Names were drawn of who would be mummified with toilet paper, and all were encouraged to participate in a pumpkin carving contest!

TGIF! TFMoran Celebrating Engineers Week 2020

February 24, 2020 | 0 Comments | , ,

February 16-22, 2020 was National Engineers Week and TFMoran had a lot to Celebrate! TFMoran’s Bedford and Portsmouth offices took a late break on Friday afternoon for a “T.G.I.F” celebration of the week and recent engineering awards and staff news. The Bedford staff enjoyed an assortment of food from Puritan Backroom such as chicken tenders, stuffed shells, meatballs and cheese sticks, while the Portsmouth office was treated to pulled-pork sandwiches.

Besides celebrating our profession, we celebrated our staff who either recently won awards, were promoted or passed their PE exams. The big news was, our very own Jeremy Belanger who was selected by a jury of his peers from New Hampshire’s Joint Engineering Societies as the 2020 Young Engineer of the Year! Nick Golon was another TFMer to celebrate, he was recently in the Union Leader for being recognized as one of the state’s standout young professionals in the 2020 Class of “40 Under Forty”. TFM’s Jen Porter and Tom Burns were celebrated as they both were promoted to Senior level. And, more exciting news to celebrate was that Natasha Kultchitsky and Jeremy Belanger recently passed the NH Professional Engineering exam. Congratulations to all for your accomplishments! We are proud to have you on the TFMoran team.

Last, but by no means least, we celebrated that TFMoran was recently voted 2020 Best of Business in the Engineering category by New Hampshire Business Review readers for the 8th straight year! We will be celebrating at BOB Award Party hosted by NHBR on March 12th at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord.

Did you know? Engineers Week was first started in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers to call attention to the contributions to society that engineers make. It was intentionally planned to include George Washington’s birthday of February 22, as he is considered the first engineer- as a surveyor!

“Pre-Super Bowl TGIF” Celebration at TFMoran’s Bedford Office

February 4, 2019 | 0 Comments | , ,

The Bedford office celebrated with a “Pre-Super Bowl LIII TGIF” gathering on February 1, 2019. Members of the Bedford office wore their favorite NE Patriots themed attire to work, from sweatshirts, to sox, to earrings, and met in the lobby at the end of the day to enjoy appetizers and beverages. The delicious appetizers (including chicken wings) were catered by TGI Fridays. Everyone had a great time, discussing plans for the Super Bowl and reminiscing on memories of past Patriot’s Super Bowls. This was the 9th time that the Patriots have been to the Super Bowl in the past 20 years, and would marked Tom Brady’s 6th Super Bowl victory!

Monday morning talk around the water cooler was how the game was a defensive battle but the Patriots managed to pull away in the 4th quarter after a terrific catch by Gronk, a touchdown from Sony Michel, and a field goal by Gostkowski to seal the game.

Congratulations to the Patriots on another Super Bowl victory!
