Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) August 30, 2013

Cross Country Home Services, Inc. (CCHS), one of the country’s leading providers of home warranty products and maintenance plans, has been named a finalist in two categories in the 2013 Golden Bridge Awards. The coveted annual program recognizes the achievements and positive contributions of companies and executives around the world. CCHS is a finalist in the Corporate Social Responsibility – Company of the Year and Women Executive of the Year categories. Winners will be honored at the awards dinner and presentation in San Francisco on September 30.

OPERATION APPLIANCE AID: Keeping Things Running Smoothly For Our Veterans, is a finalist in the Corporate Social Responsibility Company of the Year category. CCHS recognized the struggles that many veterans have as a result of the disruption caused by active duty or by an injury or disability, so they launched a program in 2012 that provides new appliances and major home systems to veterans and military service families in need. The company believes that providing a tangible gift in the form of a new major appliance or home system can bring an immediate sense of relief and improve their everyday lives. CCHS leveraged their existing partnerships with a large network of independent service providers and major appliance manufacturers, and formed partnerships with community organizations such as United Way of Broward County, Rebuilding Together Broward County, Anderson Interfaith Ministries (AIM) and The Senior Source in Dallas, TX to identify veterans in need. Donations are typically timed to major military holidays, and in just one year, CCHS has donated more than 30 appliances and helped 14 deserving families around the country.

CCHS President Sandra Finn is also being recognized by the Golden Bridge Awards as a finalist in the Women Executive of the Year category. Finn joined CCHS in 1999, and moved quickly from Executive Vice President to President. She oversees a total of more than 600 employees in the companys Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. headquarters and in their Anderson, S.C. customer care facility that operates 24 hours, 365 days a year. Under Finns leadership, CCHS has earned double-digit revenue growth and increased its employee base significantly. She has focused the companys attention on delivering a top-notch customer experience across every point of contact within the company; united a diverse employee base behind the companys customer service-focused mission, and has been repeatedly recognized as Floridas top five most prominent female executives by The Commonwealth Institute.

We take great pride in being honored by the Golden Bridge Awards, and being recognized among some of the worlds best companies, said Finn. CCHSs mission is to provide peace of mind to our customers. We do this through our cost-effective home warranty and home management products, and a concentrated focus on customer experience. We were able to extend this mission through Operation Appliance Aid, which is a program that our partners and our employees have rallied behind. Its an honor to be recognized for our efforts.

Green Bay, Wisconsin (PRWEB) July 31, 2013

With the month of August being the transition between summer fun and thoughts of autumn and back to school, the time is perfect for new takes on two of Nostalgia Electrics most well-known items. Set to ship from the companys headquarters in Green Bay during the last full month of summer, both items are sure to appear on shopping lists for all ages.

These new products were designed with increased functionality at their core, said Rob Houston, Director of Product Development at Nostalgia Products Group. Whether trying to save space in the home or working with limited space in a dorm, consumers will not have to sacrifice convenience for features.

Both items will be a part of the popular Retro Series, which already includes hot dog toasters and rollers, snow cone and cotton candy makers, microwaves and refrigerators. While the new products are being kept under wraps until they are released in August, both are new takes on older customer favorites.

Even with our best-selling products, were continually working to move each item forward to make it the best it can be, Houston hinted. Innovation has always been our companys driving force, and continues to be what makes us stand out in the market.

Nostalgia Electrics has already released several new items this summer, including the Coca-Cola Ice Cube Maker, the Coca-Cola Hot Dog Cart, the Margarator Plus, the Retro Series Party Cooler and the Popcorn Dispensing Cart. Each item brings family fun and function with unique styles to families in the US, Canada and Mexico.
