Allied Forces
Communications experts team up to win contest.
Not every company treats its employees to a cruise in the
Bahamas--but then, Moorestown, New Jersey-based The RE/COM Group
Inc. isn't just any company. This year's winners of the
Office Depot/Entrepreneur Magazine Small Business Owner of the Year
contest pride themselves on going above and beyond the expectations
of clients and employees alike.
"We have three rules in this company," says co-owner
Paul Ferraro. "Number one, we communicate. Number two, we
trust. And number three, we have fun."
Fun? OK, so maybe you wouldn't expect a value-added reseller
of voice and data communication hardware to be the most fun-loving
company on the block. Nonetheless, RE/COM's owners--Ferraro,
42, Eric Williams, 32, and Bernie Mikula, 34--clearly walk the
walk. How so? In addition to sponsoring employee trips to Orlando,
Florida, and the Bahamas, the entrepreneurial trio converted part
of their company's warehouse into a recreational area--complete
with pool table, dartboard and Ping-Pong table. What's more,
there are plenty of RE/COM outings to movies, ballgames, concerts
and the like. "It gives you the chance to see [your employees]
in a totally different light," observes Ferraro.

Make no mistake, however: The RE/COM Group is completely
serious--and completely committed--to doing the best work possible
for clients such as America Online Inc. and The Seagram Co. Ltd.
"Our creed is integrity above all," says Ferraro.
"We want to do right by competitors, customers and
vendors."
