DALLAS, July 30, 2012 – HomeTeam Pest Defense announced today it has received the highly sought after “Partners of Choice” Award from premier builder, David Weekley Homes. HomeTeam is the only pest and termite control service company to receive this well-respected industry award. The company received an “A” rating for quality in David Weekley Homes’ rigorous Supplier Evaluation System. This is the second year in a row HomeTeam has won the award and is only one of six companies to earn an “A” rating this year. This recognition puts HomeTeam in the top 10 percent of all suppliers to the nation’s third largest privately held, for-profit home builder, David Weekley Homes.
“We are honored to receive this award again from David Weekley Homes,” said Dirk Korte, vice president national accounts with HomeTeam. “This award represents the hard work and dedication of all HomeTeam employees. It is an honor to earn an “A” quality for our products and services. We are very proud of this outstanding accomplishment and view David Weekley Homes as a valued builder partner.”
The annual awards are based on Weekley’s comprehensive supplier evaluation system. At the heart of the system is the National Trading Partner Survey, a review of 150+ suppliers by the home builder’s team members. Suppliers are evaluated on quality and service, scores are averaged and alpha rankings assigned in 20 percent increments from A to F. Now in its ninth year, average scores have increased dramatically year over year. Each year the coveted “Partners of Choice” award becomes increasingly harder to attain. According to Bill Justus, vice president of supply chain services and mastermind behind David Weekley Homes’ evaluation platform, “pursuit of world-class excellence is a journey and not just a point in time. HomeTeam has demonstrated a sincere and effective desire to partner with us in our quest. Through their actions they have proven to be among the best of the best in delivering quality products to our team members.”
