Hurricane Facility Maintenance

In 1975, William Scott Sr. received layoff notice from Ford Motor Company along with hundreds of other colleagues. Once out of work he along with his wife Linda went to work for Hall's Janitorial Service. Upon realizing the potential and opportunity, William and Linda proposed and purchased the small company in Madison Heights, MI. For years they worked hard and provided excellent services to clients all over the Metro-Detroit area. Their three children: two boys and a girl worked in and around the family business throughout their teenage and college years, but pursued careers in other fields upon finishing school. Lorena pursued a Medical career, Shannon pursued IT Project Management and William pursued IT Business Management. After several years working in corporate America, Will Jr. began to notice the offices in which he worked had significant lapses in Janitorial Performance. He couldn't walk into a single commercial, retail or manufacturing office or facility without having to pay attention to the quality of cleanliness and crispness of the facility. He eventually followed his passion back in the family business and worked back to full time in 2003. Not only did he have the lifelong training from his parents, but also the keen eyes of a client having been in that role for nearly a decade. William began to utilize Project Management ideologies along with Lean principles and the emerging Six Sigma theories to streamline how clients were being serviced. The results have been tremendous. In 2009 William Jr. bought out the interests of any remaining family members and began a rebranding campaign that incorporated the Hurricane marquee. The Leadership team focused on carrying over the legacies of a “family run” business and blending them with the fresh energies of a start-up. The culture that has resulted has made Hurricane an amazing and growing team to work with!
