Rainbow International® Celebrates National Women’s Small Business Month

October 16th, 2012 by Rainbow International

October has been labeled National Women in Small Businesses Month by the Small Business Administration. This is a time to celebrate and bring awareness to the opportunities for women in the business world, and we aim to do just that.

Most women don’t know the great success and personal fulfillment that they can experience working as technicians in trade businesses or how opening a franchise business specializing in a trade can lead to viable, respectable career paths.

Dina Dwyer-Owens, CEO of The Dwyer Group® has launched the Women in the Trades initiative, which both educates on and promotes the hiring of women for traditionally male-dominated roles in trades careers as well as provides scholarships to women working within the trades currently to help them achieve the required credentials for their chosen service field.

With franchise opportunities available in markets all across the country, the time is now for women displaced by the economy or those looking at their next business investment to seek out information about The Dwyer Group franchise businesses.

The Dwyer Group is a company known the world over for its franchise brands: Aire Serv®, Glass Doctor®, Mr. Appliance®, Mr. Electric®, Mr. Rooter®, Rainbow International® and The Grounds Guys®. Among the seven brand’s 1,600 franchise locations, about 2 million residential and commercial service calls are made each year.

Rainbow International Now Serving Metro Indianapolis

April 29th, 2011 by Rainbow International

Helping a home or business recover from water, fire, smoke or mold damage requires the latest technology, tools and training. However, local business owner Chris McKinney knows the human touch is equally important during such a time of need.

McKinney is the owner of Rainbow International of Metro Indianapolis, a business offering water, fire, smoke and mold damage cleanup and restoration. Other services offered include carpet, grout and tile cleaning. Rainbow International serves residents and business owners in Marion and Johnson counties and the surrounding area. Cities served include Indianapolis and Greenwood.

“I’m excited to bring the Rainbow International way of offering these services to our area,” said McKinney. “We come equipped with the best training and equipment but also realize that on many damage restoration jobs, our customers experience an acute sense of loss and displacement. We are mindful of that as we work to quickly restore their home or business and, ultimately, peace of mind.”

McKinney attended an immersive learning program at Rainbow International corporate headquarters. The program teaches water, fire, smoke and mold damage cleanup restoration science and techniques.

“I believe Rainbow International brings a new best practices standard to our area,” McKinney added. “Utilizing the most advanced equipment, innovative technologies and a built-in accountability system, our professional emergency crews complete every job rapidly to assure an uncompromising commitment to service excellence and customer satisfaction. Ultimately, we don’t just restore homes and businesses; we restore value, stability, and peace of mind.”

“Chris and his local team are a terrific addition to our growing network,” said Rainbow International President Rob White. “We’re excited to join the Metro Indianapolis area and look forward to serving its neighborhoods and businesses.”
