NH Municipal Conference & Expo – TFM was there!

TFMoran talked with municipal officials at this year’s New Hampshire Municipal Association 74th Annual Conference. The two day Conference is held in downtown Manchester at the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center on Thursday, November 19th and Friday, November 20th. TFMoran staff was on hand at Booth #403 to talk about various recent and ongoing municipal projects from road design and construction overview (like the one in Amherst) to new fire and rescue facilities (like the one in Milton). Our booth display featured the Dunbar Free Library addition in Grantham, which is currently under construction.

This is New Hampshire’s premier conference for municipal officials and will feature over 40 educational sessions and an opportunity to meet with exhibitors to learn about their latest products and services. The 2014 event drew more than 500 New Hampshire local government officials and over 100 exhibitors and sponsors!

This year’s conference theme was Navigating the Waters of Municipal Government. Captain Richard Phillips, captain of the Maersk Alabama, hijacked by Somali pirates in 2009 was the keynote speaker.

TFMoran Participates in 2015 Canstruction Food Drive

September is Hunger Action Month. And, this year TFMoran did our part to help the NH Food Bank by participating in the 2015 Canstruction Food Drive. Canstruction is an event in which a structure of an organization’s choosing is built using canned or packaged food items. Once completed, the non-perishable cans are donated to the NH Food Bank for distribution to those in need.  The TFMoran Canstruction Team consisted of Mark Chamberlain, Jennifer Porter, Cassi Beroney, Maryanne Murray, Susan Bartley, and Dylan Cruess.

The judging categories include: Best Meal, Best Use of Labels, Structural Ingenuity, Jurors’ Favorite, Honorable Mention, People’s Choice and Most Food Used.

The judges visited our Bedford Office on October 1st to judge our sculpture and pack their boxes full of much needed food. The multi-color themed “TFM” logo consisted of 23 rows across by 6 rows high by 3 rows deep, totally 414 cans! And, at the end of the rainbow was a macaroni & cheese pot of gold. There was a wide variety of nutritious food, including green and wax beans, leaf spinach, mixed vegetables, corn, carrots, stewed tomatoes, chick peas, kidney beans, pea beans, chili beans, beets and peas. Dylan Cruess and Maryanne Murray did most of the shopping at the Bedford Market Basket, making several trips for colors, sizes, content and quantity.

TFMoran and all our staff are proud to be part of the local community.  We are already looking forward to the 2016 Canstruction competition!

TFMoran Hosts August Network PM for Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce

TFMoran proudly celebrated hosting the Greater Manchester of Commerce Network PM event for the 19th consecutive year on Thursday, August 20th. Over 200 chamber members, guests, TFMoran staff, and their families enjoyed an amazing summer barbecue on the front lawn of the Bedford office. “Growing Business in New Hampshire” was this year’s theme and it focused on some TFMoran’s projects over the last year.  These projects include a major new distribution center, a new manufacturing facility, a Whole Foods market, a new University library, a grand hotel, and many multi-family residences. TFMoran’s engineers, surveyors and landscape architects were on hand to talk about our recent projects and how we play a critical role in growing New Hampshire’s economy.

The Wine’ing Butcher did a great job grilling steak tips, burgers and dogs, while The Inside Scoop topped off dinner with their delicious ice cream, and it was a perfect night for ice cream! The Royal Bouquet had two beautiful flower arrangements that were included in the door prizes. All three businesses are located at the French-Atwood Marketplace in Bedford.

The Chamber president Michael Skelton introduced Dylan Cruess, TFMoran’s Chief Operating Officer, who welcomed everyone and acknowledged the TFM staff for their hard work in making this event a success.

TFMoran Survey Vans have Roof Mounted Safety Lights

When someone notices you, it is much more likely they will avoid you!  TFMoran’s survey vans are often parked on the side of roads and while we have had yellow flashing roof lights on the front our vans for many years, we discovered that cars traveling in the same direction as our parked vans, could not see the front lights.  In response to this potential safety hazard, TFMoran has installed yellow and white flashing light bars on the back of primary survey vans.
