Trade Talks: Unlocking The Experience

Hands-on Training: Growth and the Cleaning Industry

By Mike Balzano
February 15, 2024

In this episode of “Trade Talks: Unlocking The Experience” R&R publisher Mike Balzano chats with Jim Pemberton, Owner of Pemberton’s Cleaning and Restoration Supply. They talk about his long career and what he learned from his father, Lee, who remains a legend in the industry. Furthermore, we learn what his initial life goals were before getting into the cleaning and restoration industry. 

And of course, as we do every week, we learn something fun and personal about the guest that you have to tune in to find out! 

Finally, we learn Jim Pemberton’s thoughts on The Experience and how it’s moving forward under new management while continuing the strong legacy from those who laid the foundation. Jim will be a Keynote speaker at The Experience in Chattanooga, TN this April!
