 Creative
Conservation Co. Inc. was founded March 18, 1981 by Tom and Lynda Sprouse. Prior to
starting Creative Conservation, Mr. Sprouse held the position of sales manager for a
leading insulation company. This was during a time when the economy had reached a lull and
energy costs skyrocketed. With declining consumer confidence, inflated prices, and low
housing starts, economic development had spiraled downward. By 1983, unemployment would
reach 9.6 %, which is four times the rate in 1999. The name Creative Conservation is a
reflection of these times. With a struggling economy and high-energy costs, Mr. Sprouse
felt that there was a need for innovative or creative ways to conserve energy.Many would advise against starting a construction related
business during this economic turmoil. After hearing this, Tom consulted with his wife
Lynda and they decided in partnership to try it for six months.
Years later, thanks to Tom and Lynda’s strategic
management, Creative Conservation is still going strong. Tom is currently President of the
Virginia chapter of the ICAA (Insulation Contractors Associations of America), an
organization that focuses on the improvement and technological advances in the insulation
industry. Creative Conservation is also a long time member of the Home Builders
Association. Now as one of the leader’s in the industry, Creative Conservation
consistently delivers a quality of service and products
that exceed the demand of today’s consumer.
Currently, Tom and Lynda have recruited the aid of their son Thomas.
This was done so that the ethics and values will continue now and long into the future. Thomas hopes to continue Creative
Conservation’s growth through innovative ideas and the utilization of technological
advances in the industry. |
