Congratulations to Rich Deegan, Our May 2023 Metronome Award Winner
Congratulations Rich Deegan for being this year's Metronome Award recipient!

The word “Metronome” is derived from ancient Greek which means “to measure”, “I manage” or “I lead”. This Greek definition speaks well to what the award has come to symbolize at Sweeney Design Remodel.

The Metronome Award was presented by the last recipient, Ryan Whitting, and personifies the qualities of a high-performing co-worker, defined by three categories: measure, manage, and lead.
