Flint Holding Company LLC, Kansas City, Missouri, United States, 64101
Role: Director of Digital Marketing
Location: Kansas City
Investor: General Atlantic
About Flint Group
Headquartered in Kansas City and founded in 2019 by industry veterans Collin Hathaway (Chairman) and Trevor Flannigan (CEO), Flint Group is a leading platform providing high-quality HVAC, plumbing and electrical (“HVAC+”) services to residential customers. Today, Flint is comprised of 11 longstanding market-leading brands across 9 primary markets in the U.S., including Seattle, Portland, Houston, Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Phoenix. The Company will continue to acquire and grow best-in-class local HVAC+ brands.
The HVAC+ residential services industry is estimated to be a ~$150B+ growing at a ~5% CAGR. The sector is largely non-discretionary due to the mission-critical nature of HVAC and plumbing systems. The HVAC+ market is highly fragmented with 70%+ of the market being served by independent contractors and mom & pop providers.
Flint has a proven track record of driving topline and earnings growth post-acquisition at the local level through: (i) investing in the local leadership team, facility and technology, (ii) optimizing business mix (e.g., adding service lines) and improving lead flow, (iii) leveraging economies of scale (e.g., OEM agreements, group purchasing), (iv) sharing best practices to improve performance, and (v) leveraging technology and analytics to measure KPIs, drive insights and increase accountability.
