Manuel Gomez had two thoughts in mind when launching Go To Services LLC: To create productive, clean and safe surroundings for customers, and a sense of fulfillment with an opportunity to succeed for employees.
In servicing client organizations, the environmental services company also commits to supporting the community-based causes that represent customer missions and mirror those backed by GTS.
“Examples of causes that we support at Hartford HealthCare include Swim Across the Sound (helping oncology patients through the Bianchi Golf Tournament and Banners Program) and the Women at Heart Program,” Gomez says.
This synergy, he adds, is an important part of a diverse supply chain which, in turn, enriches a community.
“A diverse supply chain typically provides broader opportunity for local minority- and women-owned businesses and other underrepresented groups to participate where an increasing number of large national companies have stepped in,” Gomez says.
