Peggy McKeever’s Retirement

Monday, May 19th, 2014

Last Friday was a very sad day for the FRC inside sales department as we said goodbye to Peggy McKeever who has retired. Many of you may know Peggy from shows or just from over the phone. She was a fixture in the Fire Industry and specifically the FRC sales department since we hired her away from MC Products in 1999. Peggy put in long days and fought tooth and nail for “her” customers. She wasn’t afraid to say what she thought about what you were doing which usually served as good motivation to do the right thing! She will be missed, especially in those areas where she did it all, including managing the inside sales department, helping coordinate FAMA Statistics, plan and coordinate all the major FRC trade shows, as well as helping to answer customer service calls.

Peggy is shown here with the inside sales and service staff and Neocles Athanasiades.
