Robert and Frances Lummus desired to serve the community by providing top-notch customer service. He spent 18 years working in the oil field sector, and Frances was employed in various accounting positions before they established their own company. “I aspired to have a family business that created a legacy. This dream started during high school when I worked in a small supermarket. Eventually, I wanted to own a store,” Robert said.
However, his first career was with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, where he worked 15 years. Then, he changed careers to the oil and gas industry. “In 2001, I accepted a job in the oil field as a technician until about 2005 when they gave me the opportunity to manage part of the business, leading a group of people as well as being responsible for all the day-to-day operations. This company believed in personal development, so they gave me several opportunities to enhance and increase my leadership abilities and business knowledge. The company had a great culture and service model, both of which after over a decade, I felt I could transfer to my own business successes.”
The husband/wife team evaluated the type of company they should produce. Robert has a technical background, so in his opinion, electricians have one of the most important jobs in the service industry, as well as one of the most needed services. Therefore, after much research, they began their Mr. Electric business in 2014 with only two employees.
To say Mr. Electric in Burleson grew would be an understatement. They have locations serving Dallas, Fort Worth and the surrounding cities in the Metroplex, as well as 50 employees including management. Overall, this is a very flat structure, meaning everyone plays a part and feels free to contribute ideas for improvement. This culture and philosophy empowers all.
The CFO, Frances, manages all things accounting and financial, while Robert oversees the company’s core values, principles and ideals, encouraging everyone to “speak up” as they contribute to the success of others. “We believe that treating people well extends to the family, so we create events to support our employees in a well-rounded way.” The company centers the leadership focus on four main aspects, Robert’s four F’s: Faith, Family, Fitness and Finance. For example, this gives the staff opportunities to attend personal improvement seminars or classes that will aid them in achieving their personal goals or personal improvement, ranging from Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University to faith-based activities and beyond. “Our mantra is to hire good people who happen to be good electricians. It is our goal to offer not only excellent customer service but an excellent place to be employed. That’s how we strive to perform,” Robert concluded.
