2024 was filled with pride and optimism. We witnessed our industry come together in times of crisis, creating collaborations that helped advance the restoration community. The challenges we faced strengthened our “why” and highlighted our ability to innovate and support one another.

During my brief time away from the industry I gained a new perspective, one which only strengthened my love for this wonderful industry. When I returned, I slowly reintroduced myself to the industry and realized how much I had missed in just nine months. I am excited to be back and to see the remarkable progress our industry made. Both R&R and the industry have evolved in ways that make me excited for what the future holds. Not just for 2025, but beyond.

This issue marks the final edition of R&R's eMagazine. However, we are thrilled to introduce R&R’s eBook in 2025. These eBooks will continue to provide and offer valuable insights and information. We know staying up to date with the latest news and information in the industry is a top priority. The 2025 eBook topics are Mold Remediation, CAT Preparedness, Fire Damage Restoration, and Water Damage Restoration.

Don’t forget to sign up for R&R’s eNewsletters and create your free account on randrmagonline.com. This will help you stay up to date on industry trends, news, and need to know information.

I can’t wait to see what next year holds for R&R and our industry. With your continued dedication and resilience, we will continue down the right path. Our goals and objectives remain the same, coming together, providing the highest quality of service, and making our industry the best it can be.

From our family to yours happy holidays and happy new year!

Warm regards,
