2025 has been a transformative year for Thermal Concepts.
We’ve grown our team, evolved our operations, and taken concrete steps to position our people for long-term success.
As the year draws to a close, we’re reflecting on what truly powers our company forward.
Across every division, one theme echoed unmistakably: Our people inspire our people.
This week, we asked our employees what they were most grateful for. Their answers were humbling, inspiring, and motivating for our future.
Gratitude for Grit and Operational Excellence
Managing complex infrastructure is challenging. It demands a relentless commitment to reliability.
Success here has a simple formula: show up when it matters most and do whatever it takes to deliver for our customers.
This year, both our leadership and our field teams expressed deep appreciation for the work ethic that defines our company.
- “I’m grateful for the incredibly high-performing teams across all divisions who show up with grit, pride, and professionalism every day.” — Jay Halloran, CEO
- “I’m thankful for our culture of teamwork and the operational strength our people bring to every challenge. Our safety-first mindset and commitment to supporting each other are what make this company special.” — Chris Horan, COO
This sentiment is echoed by those on the front lines, who understand exactly what it takes to keep critical infrastructure running.
“Our field team is the foundation of our success,” Guillermo M. said. “Their discipline, teamwork, and long hours are what drive every project forward.”
Gratitude for Growth and Innovation
Thermal Concepts is building a legacy of excellence. To achieve this, we are investing in professional development and adapting to new technologies to ensure we remain competitive and future-ready.
Our team is thankful for an environment where potential is recognized and innovation is welcomed.
- “I’m grateful for teams that embrace new processes, new technology, and new ways of working. Their willingness to improve, innovate, and support one another is what drives long-term efficiency and growth.” — Lyonel Martens, CFO
- “I’m grateful for a team that is committed to learning, development, and community. Seeing people grow, connect, and build careers here inspires me every single day.” — Romina Antonelli, Director of HR
Employees are feeling the impact of this commitment. Julissa R. shared her appreciation for the support she receives: “I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow. For leaders who believe in my potential.”
Gratitude for Unity and Alignment
Perhaps the most powerful takeaway from this year is the sense of unity.
We have focused heavily on integrating our operations and ensuring that every voice is heard. From company town halls to strategic listening sessions, the feedback shows that this alignment is creating a stronger, more cohesive workplace.
- “I’m grateful for the unity I’ve seen this year, Operations and Shared Services working as one team, communicating better, integrating systems, supporting our field teams, and leaning into alignment. Watching people help each other shine is the most meaningful part of my work.” — Krystyna Ermer, CIO
This effort to break down silos is resonating deeply.
Tara T. highlighted the shift: “We have become more aligned this year — stronger communication, better clarity, and streamlined roles.”
The result is a trust-based relationship between leadership and our teams that empowers everyone to perform at their best.
As Krystal S. shared, “Leadership that listens. That’s what I’m thankful for.”
Thankful For It All
When we asked our team, “Which of the following are you most grateful for?” the #1 survey answer across all categories was “All of the above.”
Joan M. captured this sentiment, sharing, “I’ve been around, and this is one of the best companies I’ve worked for. You can feel the commitment to employees.”
The feeling is mutual. To our teams across Florida and Georgia, thank you for:
- Giving your best
- Lifting each other up
- Supporting customers with pride
- Welcoming growth and change
- Believing in this company and its future
Thank you for building something special together!
