Our Dalton Carpet One team flew out to Phoenix, Arizona for the Carpet One Convention that took place January 7th through January 9th! Our employees enjoyed going on a mill tour of Unique Design Solutions and were able to see how their tile is hand selected and created...and even got to try it out themselves! Our team also got to see new products, hear about new programs and attend training classes. At the Phoenix Convention Center, Dalton Carpet One was also recognized for working on the Smart Home build with Tunnel to Towers for SSGT. Jones's home in Sharpsburg, Georgia! This home was completed in November of 2019 and we were so honored to be a part of this project.

A Little Surprise Coffee Break <3
|
On January 21st, Java Joy came out to Athens for a fun employee coffee break! Our "Joyristas," Colin, Hannah and Ruthie made everyone's day special with smiles, hugs and fantastic coffee! Dalton Carpet One employees enjoyed some well deserved hot coffee on a very cold Tuesday morning. We are so thankful for Java Joy's mission and the experience that they made possible for our wonderful employees!
We also had a visit from Sweet Kneads at our Lake Oconee store with a special delivery of warm coffee and bagels! We hope you all enjoyed the surprise and got to catch up with your co-workers over a hot cup of Joe!
We appreciate all of our employees and are excited for the next employee appreciation event!

Doug Hunt - 5 years
This month we are celebrating Doug Hunt, who has been with DCO for five years now! Doug was originally recruited to help start the DCO Commercial Window Treatments division. Doug has since stayed with DCO for all of these years, because he enjoys working with what he considers the best team in the window covering business. His favorite memory while working at DCO has been helping with the home builds for Habitat for Humanity that the company has been involved with. Doug has been married to his wife, Kitty, for over 35 years. According to Doug, "she just agreed to let me stick around another year. I will beg for a renewal next year." - so it sounds like he'll be sticking with us! Doug has two adopted children, Mallory and Austin. Mallory is married and Doug now has a two year old grandson named Maddox. Doug and Kitty enjoy spending as much time as they can with their grandson and their two rescue dogs. We are so grateful we have Doug in our Commercial Window Treatments division and have him as a part of DCO! If you see him make sure to wish him a Happy Anniversary!

Justin Aldridge-15 years
Justin came to Dalton Carpet {desperately seeking a new job} after a few years in the communications and landscape industry. He has stayed at DCO all these years, because of the unique friendships he has made. Justin says his coworkers are like his family, they’re with you through the good and bad times, but that just brings everyone closer together. He has enjoyed going to the Golf Tournaments and Christmas Parties over the years and following the mantra of work hard, play hard. Justin says working at Dalton Carpet has helped him grow in a lot of ways, but unfortunately, he complains, not in physical height. He started out on the Warehouse and Delivery team, spent many years working in Operations, and has since transitioned into the Sales side the last several years. Justin enjoys taking on new challenges and really enjoys getting to see the results of his hard work. In his free time, Justin enjoys hunting, watching the Dawgs play, and spending time with his family. He also has spent the last twelve years refereeing high school football games and enjoys regularly serving at his church.We're so lucky to have you, Justin! Happy Anniversary!
