AGAWAM, Mass. – Braman Termite & Pest Elimination, a family-owned and-operated business serving residential and commercial customers across southern New England since 1890, announced the upcoming retirement of Robert Guyette, senior vice president of business development.
“Rob’s contributions to Braman are too numerous to count — from the way he mentors and connects people to his dedication to our customers to his impressive work ethic,” said Jerry Lazarus, third-generation owner of Braman Termite & Pest Elimination. “I can’t say enough about him. He has been a tremendous asset to our company from both a business and culture perspective, and we will miss him greatly.”
During his time at Braman, Guyette said he is proudest of achieving his ACE (associated certified entomologist) certification, one of the biggest professional challenges he has ever faced. Prior to joining Braman as general manager in 2006, Guyette was production manager at HP Hood in the milk and ice cream divisions for nearly 26 years. He recently transitioned into his current role in preparation for retirement.
A self-described networker, Guyette said he will miss the people the most. He has no specific plans for retirement but is looking forward to spending more time with his grandchildren as well as his hobbies, bowling and fishing.
