Since Brothers Fire & Security started in 1994, we have undergone consistent growth in our ongoing commitment to keep making the customer experience exceptional. This growth continues in our leadership as we work to develop leading edge fire and security solutions. With a consistent history of promoting from within, I’m pleased to introduce our new management team which has strong connections to our vision and customers.
Cindy Ladyka will now have the role of General Manager – Administration. Known for her loyal service to Brothers Fire & Security, she’s been with us since 2012 and has an outstanding commitment to keep administration, accounting and safety running smoothly. In Cindy’s new role, she will be responsible to lead and manage the unit’s six-person staff and support all our business units. She will continue to manage our accounting and human resources teams as well as continue to serve as our Safety Director. Over the years, Cindy has been a tremendously valuable manager and strong advocate for all our employees.
Shawn Kadelbach has been promoted to General Manager – Fire Sprinkler Division. He is a long-time employee, having been with BFS since 2003. In his new role, Shawn is responsible to lead, manage and grow the sprinkler division. He’ll develop the strategy of the division and is the point person to execute the business plan and achieve company objectives. Shawn’s loyal service is reflected in his commitment to project management and estimating.
David LaRue has been promoted to General Manager – Fire Suppression. With BFS since May 2019, his expertise includes 12 years in service, installation and sales of pre-engineered and engineered fire suppression systems. David has accumulated well-rounded experience in managing the entire sales process from uncovering opportunities to developing solutions. His experience in suppression sales includes Johnson Controls and Nardini Fire Equipment Company.
As our new management team oversees growth objectives, I will focus on expanding the vision of BFS, marketing, and improving the customer experience throughout the service divisions.
