Facing the Hurricanes as One: The Resilience of the Cozzini Family

Natural disasters may test us, but they also bring out the strength and unity that define who we are as a company. This year, the Cozzini family has weathered unprecedented challenges, from Hurricane Beryl in Houston to Hurricanes Milton in Florida and Helene across Florida, the Appalachian region, and North Carolina. Yet, through it all, our team continues to show remarkable resilience, support, and a deep sense of community.

One powerful example of this comes from Victoria Porter , who shared her experience during Hurricane Milton. Victoria’s heartfelt words remind us of the passion and commitment that drives our team every day. In a time of need, our Cozzini family showed up -- delivering essential supplies like food, water, fuel, and household items directly to her doorstep. As she so beautifully put it: “Thankful and grateful are not strong enough words for what they did for me and my babies.”

We are deeply grateful to Victoria for sharing her story and proud of the individuals who went above and beyond to ensure her safety and that of her family. This isn’t just about business -- it’s about people. It’s about how we come together in the most trying of times, supporting one another like family.

Honoring Our Team’s Heroic Efforts:

Rick Sword, whose area was most impacted, played a vital role in providing Jake Cutler and Daniel Oltean with firsthand information from the ground. His timely updates allowed them to make the best decisions for both the business and our people.

Daniel Oltean and Roger Sotelo ’s dedication is a testament to the heart of our company. They stepped in to personally ensure Victoria and her family were safe and had everything they needed during the storms. Their actions reflect the true meaning of leadership and compassion.

Jake Cutler ’s experience has been instrumental in keeping our team secure and prepared through not just one but three hurricanes this year. His diligence in implementing processes that support our leadership in proactively securing our employees, operations, and customer deliveries has been a lifeline during challenging times.

J. Todd Layton , with 25 years of experience in handling hurricanes, provided the team with crucial support by helping them focus, prioritize, and coordinate external resources to ensure the well-being of our people and customers.

These stories are more than just examples of incredible teamwork; they are a reflection of the Cozzini spirit. Our people are at the core of everything we do, and it’s through their resilience and compassion that we continue to thrive, even in the face of adversity.

?As a company, we will always prioritize the safety, well-being, and needs of our team members and customers, especially when the skies are stormy.

As one, we face every challenge head-on, always with the well-being of our people at the forefront and a commitment to each other.

Thank you to our incredible team for standing strong and showing what it means to be part of the Cozzini family.
