Ashly Crockett, Director of Sales and Marketing

SERVPRO of Greensboro North works with people during some of the most trying moments of their lives. Property damage can be stressful and finding a proper firm to restore it to its prior condition can be a headache. Being aware of that we do our best to provide exceptional customer service to help relieve the pain of unfortunate circumstances. Whether it's communicating on the phone, through email, or in-person; each SERVPRO of Greensboro North employee on the receiving end of the conversation strives to be as professional as possible. 

Maintaining our professionalism is of our utmost importance. With that being the case we try to have fun too! With the holiday season upon us, here is our Director of Sales and Marketing, Ashly Crockett, reflecting on childhood and now adult memories of Christmas. 

My favorite Christmas memory was with my dad when I was about 8 years old. My sister and I used to go to the Christmas tree farm with our dad every year. One year I picked out a tree and said “oh daddy, isn’t it the most beautiful tree in the whole wide world? He said “absolutely” and bought it and loaded it in the back of the truck and brought it home and put it in the tree stand. He said we would decorate it on Saturday. Saturday came and we decorated the tree and I thought it was the most beautiful tree ever. It wasn’t until many years later (I was an adult) I found out my dad went back to the Christmas tree farm while we were in school and got a bigger, less Charlie Brown looking, beautiful Christmas tree and brought it home and replaced the one I picked out and never told me and for years let me believe that I picked out the most perfect tree our family ever had.

My next favorite Christmas memory came when I was a teenager. My sister and I would still wake up early to rush downstairs to see what “Santa” brought us. One particular year he brought us luggage. We laughed and laughed and thought it was the most ridiculous gift because what 14 year old was interested in luggage? When mom and dad woke up we of course told them thank you and that we had been laughing about it. They asked if we opened the luggage and we laughed and said no. When we opened it we found out that we were going on a cruise as a family. It was one of the best vacations we ever went on as a family. It's one of the reasons I now live for memories over things.
