Chris Carson

   


This month we are proud to highlight our Delivery Manager Chris Carson.  Most of you have probably met Chris because he was literally born into the office equipment industry at Plus Inc. His dad, Herb Carson, founded the company before he was born, and Chris started working at Plus in 1983.  In his teen years at Plus, Chris cleaned the office and delivered supplies for the industry at that time - typewriters and calculators. Eventually, he moved into sales and spent many years supplying copiers and cash registers to customers. He now works supporting our warehouse, service and sales departments by delivering supplies and installing   equipment.  Chris is always willing to go the extra mile to keep our customers satisfied whether     delivering supplies or taking parts to a technician. Taking care of customers is Chris' #1 priority!

 

Chris has always enjoyed his job at Plus Inc, but considered going into a different industry. However, after his father passed away in 1995, his perspective changed a bit. It became very important to him to carry on the business that his dad started.  He explains, "It was important to my dad and made him feel proud that his sons worked in the industry with him. After Dad passed away, it became important to me to carry on what my father started.  Working at Plus gives me a proud feeling that I am carrying on Dad's legacy.  Dad started this business, and I want to carry on what he started and give great service to our customers like he did when he was here."

 

Outside of work, Chris is still always going the extra mile.  His wife, Cheri, and he attend St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church where they were married in 2000.  They both participate in the church's weekly prayer chain, and Chris volunteers each year at Thanksgiving with First Baptist of Greenville delivering meals to the less fortunate.   He is also an avid memorabilia collector with his prized items being autographs from Babe Ruth and The Beatles!  Chris and Cheri are the proud parents of two four-legged children named Tigger and Snowball.

 


 

 

Cancer Society of Greenville County  

 

   

 

This month we are happy to highlight Cancer Society of Greenville County; Plus Incorporated   partners with the Cancer Society of Greenville County in handling their copier. For 50 years, the Cancer Society of Greenville County has been caring for Greenville         residents affected by cancer, not only by providing financial         assistance but also through emotional and educational support and many countless other means of simply being present with people in their need. Cancer is not content to stay put. Neither are we. We seek to provide holistic care for a disease that is so holistically   devastating. We want to step without fear into the mess that cancer makes in people's lives. What we have seen emerge time and time again in cancer victims is the brave and beautiful   audacity to hope. When local people care for local victims, when families have someone to carry the weight with them, hope puts down its own roots and drives out the tentacles of fear and despair.

In the years of providing local care to local victims, the Cancer Society of Greenville County has placed itself in the heart of our community, settling down in locations familiar to the local ear:     Dunbar Street, the Red Cross Building on Grove Road, Aberdeen Drive, and now 113 Mills Avenue at the House of Hope. Further, the Society has facilitated fundraising events that remain staples on the calendars of Greenville residents, including the Hope Ball held every two years, the Annual   Ladies' Golf Benefit, and the Holiday Greenery Sale. What's more, the local flavor of the Society is evidenced by the countless faces and names who have found hope in the face of cancer. Hope is here-here in our community, for our cancer victims. You can find it, and you can be a part of   helping others find it. Whatever your place in the story, you will determine how the rest of it goes.

 

In 2015, The Cancer Society of Greenville County will celebrate 50 years of serving the Greenville community. We provide hope, help and healing to those struggling with cancer in Greenville.

In honor of our Anniversary, we have comprised a committee of community leaders to plan and implement a year-long celebration of our anniversary and we invite you to help us celebrate this milestone and our life changing work.

Once annually, Buyers Labe, the leading global provider of information and testing services to the digital imaging industry, acknowledges the vendors whose product lines are determined to be the best overall in their respective categories based on cumulative results of models tested in BLI's rigorous two - month laboratory evaluations. By assessing reliability, image quality, ease of use, productivity and a range of other criteria, the tests reveal to customers the products that deliver the best value and performance. Also considered are the vendor's breadth of line and ability to provide quality products suitable to a broad spectrum of customer needs, from low volumes to high volumes.

Ricoh currently has a total of 14 A3 Pick awards - more than any other vendor - plus one PRO award, which means the excellence of its line extends all the way up to the production realm.
