JACKSONVILLE, FL –
Just one day before the children of Duval and Clay counties dreaded seeing the school buses that would take them back to the classroom, the team members of Providence Homes and Providence Realty smiled as their bus
arrived to take them on a citywide tour of the homebuilder¹s communities.

The full-day tour provided the team members that work at the company's Sunbeam Road headquarters and its various model homes to socialize, see where each other spends their workday, and familiarize themselves with each Providence community. The team visited the model homes in OakLeaf Plantation, Eagle Harbor, River Hills Reserve at Fleming Island Plantation, Royal Pines at World Golf Village, Victoria Lakes, South Hampton, Windsor Chase, Northglen, Queen's Harbour, Marshwinds, Shirley Oaks, and Westgate, Sawmill Pointe, Pine Chase, Creekside and Pine Crossing in Julington Creek Plantation.

"The trip was very informative and a great morale booster," said Roger Roman, a Site Agent for the Julington Creek neighborhoods."It's a great reminder for site agents that we [Providence Homes] are more than the neighborhood that we work in."

The move reflects the holistic approach to business management that Bill Cellar, founder and president of Providence Homes, was exposed to while attending graduate school at the University of Virginia. Cellar learned the philosophy that successful companies operate more effectively when departments better understand how the individual units function, interact, and fit within the central organization.
