DANNY FARNAN/9 YEARS AT P1 Operations Manager, Building Technologies (Formerly Electrical Service General Manager) “Coming from a technologies background I’m returning to my roots, overseeing the operations of the Technologies division at P1. It’s great to see how the industry is evolving and more focus is being given to building technologies. P1 is excited to move forward toward automated systems that not only control indoor temperatures, but monitor perimeter doors, unlock and open doors, monitor motion for intrusion, and analytically track assets and personnel through advanced software integration. The security, CCTV, access control, intrusion, and A/V markets are fast moving, and we are moving quickly with them. P1’s sustainability also comes from a true team approach, which is not lip service at P1, but something put into practice every day. As leaders in this great organization, we emphasize the value of the team approach, because we live that culture from the top down. We have a great team, and I am proud to be a part of it.”
MARK RAU/NEW TO P1 Client Development Manager “I’ve been involved in the low voltage systems, A/V, and security industry for almost 30 years as an entrepreneur/owner and manager. I have worked with P1 Group on different projects over the past 11 years, and it was that experience with P1 that led me to this wonderful opportunity. I look forward to working with Danny Farnan and the electrical leadership team as we introduce our expanded capabilities to the market. We see our opportunities along three main avenues: existing customers who may not be aware of our technology capabilities; security and A/V opportunities that come in ‘off the street’ from our customers or GCs, where we can now plan to self-perform that work; and finally, expanding those untapped markets, niches, and potential customers that don’t yet have a relationship with P1. Technologies is the up-and-coming part of the electrical industry. I look forward to taking my entrepreneurial experience out there to growing niches, like LED screens for movie theatres, electric vehicle charging stations, LED displays for large venues, and many others.” 24
