Chris will lead our growth strategy throughout each of our regions.”

“As we performed our due diligence to find a business partner to successfully move forward with, it was extremely important that our cultures aligned very closely,” commented Chris Curtis.  “Corporate compatibility was an essential requirement, not only for the benefit of all the hard-working C-K employees that have contributed to our success for the last 57 years, but also for our loyal customers, so that they will experience a seamless transition of continued quality and service excellence.”  Co-owner John Kuder added, “By teaming up with BRAVO!, we will have greater resources at our fingertips and add more depth to our already dynamic crew.  BRAVO! has a proven track record of industry growth and success, and we're happy to become a part of their continuing expansion.
