Tim Crimmins has been appointed as LAVATEC’s new Regional Sales Manager for the Southeast United States and Caribbean islands. Based in Orlando, he reports to Jim Shaw, LAVATEC’s Vice President and National Accounts Sales Manager.
Crimmins has over 30 years of operations management and sales experience in the laundry industry. He grew up in the business as the son of former HCSC executive Timothy Crimmins, and as a child he would spend the summers working at his father’s laundry facilities. He has served in many executive capacities for companies where he was responsible for the oversight of multiple facilities, including sales and service.
Crimmins hit the ground running shortly after signing on with LAVATEC, establishing communications with existing customers and prospects. He credits a long business relationship with Jim Slatcher, the company’s Regional Sales Manager for the Western states, for convincing him to take this new position.
“Knowing Jim for over 25 years provided a huge sense of comfort in my decision. Both from having as a support system, but also that he had an operations background as well and has been tremendously successful since he joined LAVATEC,” said Crimmins.
“I left a part of the business where I felt I was very accomplished and as good as any operator in the U.S.,” he continued. “I am excited about this new chalIenge and plan to stay humble, patient, and learn from those around me so I can contribute to the team.”
Throughout his career, Crimmins has always accepted new challenges. That has carried over into his personal life.
“My free time is usually spent reading or engaged in sports, and I am trying to get to the gym on a regular basis,” he remarked. “A few years ago when I was working in Miami, I became involved in the local community as a volunteer for youth basketball. Hopefully I can find time in the near future to volunteer again.”
