Member Network.
(Press Release from HMI - October 6, 2009)
Leading Michigan Tree Care
Company Partners with National Tree Data and Service Provider
Cary, NC
- Doug Malawsky, executive vice president and COO of HMI, has announced that Owen Tree Service has joined HMI's Authorized
Member (AM) Network. HMI provides property owners, insurers and others with inspections, replacement cost calculations and
a full suite of claims support services for trees and shrubs. HMI has established a national network of arborists and professional
tree care companies to support these products and services. Owen will support HMI's programs in a number of Michigan markets.
"We are overjoyed to have Owen Tree Care join our network. Owen will allow HMI to further support its insurance
company clientele in the Mid West," said Malawsky. "As the first company to receive TCIA [Tree Care Industry Association]
accreditation, Owen Tree Service is a pioneer in the establishment of high standards for professional tree care companies."
"We have seen immediate value in joining HMI's network," said Randy Owen, founder and owner of Owen
Tree Service. "As soon as we joined their Network HMI hired us for a consulting assignment for a large insurance company.
HMI also positioned us to bid on, and hopefully win, a nice sized job for the same insurer."
Members of HMI's
AM Network provide property owners with risk mitigation services, tree repair and replacement services, as needed, and all
other services related to tree claims and tree damage recovery. Other services include tree and debris removal, reports to
support subrogation actions, and replacement costs for lost trees and shrubs. AM Network members receive work referrals, customized
report covers, and discounted pricing on HMI's treeFactsR Reports. In addition, HMI's Asset Inventory Program (AIP), a PDA
application for collecting tree inventory, is available exclusively to HMI's AM Network. Read about HMI's AIP in TCI Magazine, Cutting Edge - Products, August 2009 edition.
