Purcell Drummond Promoted To Manager For Lightning Electric

Loxahatchee resident Purcell Drummond has accepted a promotion to service manager for Lightning Electric.

Purcell started his career with Lightning in 2003 as a licensed journeyman electrician and has proven to be an asset, regularly exceeding customers’ expectations.

Purcell has been in the trade for 20 years and brings vast experience in performing and leading residential, commercial and industrial work. He is also Lutron-certified and has an extensive background with work in high-end homes.

“Purcell has a great perspective on service growth and development, and shares my vision for the future,” Lightning Electric President Jeff Meldrim said.

“The most rewarding part of my job,” Drummond said, “is knowing when I have left a customer’s home or place of business that I have not only taken care of their electrical problems or needs, but I’ve just built a new relationship and rapport with the customer. In any given day, a customer may have a dozen problems; electrical issues should not be one of them. Knowing that I have rectified one of those issues is very satisfying.”

Tom Drake has held the service manager position for the last 11 years. He will now focus exclusively on continuing to grow renovation and mid-range level contract business as a project manager.

Lightning Electric is a full-service electrical contractor serving South Florida since 1959. Visit www.lightningelectricinc.com for more information.
