Congrats to Mark and Becky Chamberlain, 1-800-SWEEPER Partners at EcoSweeping in Colorado Springs, CO. They were featured in the April 2020 issue of North American Sweeper. In addition to the full back-story on how Mark started EcoSweeping, he tells the story of connecting with his mentor Kerry Armstrong, who, along with wife Marsha and son, Mitch, runs Armstrong Sweeping out of Denver, CO.

For those not familiar – Colorado Springs boasts an even higher elevation than the “Mile High” city and is situated between Denver to the South and Pueblo to the North.

People, Pride, Purpose: The Glue that Binds Team Members at Award-winning Company

Employee “buy-in” to understanding how the company is run, and ultimately the profitability of Contract Sweepers and Equipment, started in 2004 when a 100{cd9db56748df391b131010c0c880113f42d56e29626b6ebf74877cbc020d5b1a} employee buyout of the company from original owners was initiated.

Originally developed to help explain what conversion to an ESOP – an Employee Stock Ownership Plan – meant to all employees, Contract Sweepers & Equipment’s management developed the “People, Pride & Purpose” campaign.
