A Decade of Devotion

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Hayslett Group associate Ann Collins. Ann’s combination of corporate and community experience, from BellSouth to real estate and after school arts programming, helped land Ann at Hayslett Group in a tale of “being in the right place at the right time.”

Ten years ago, Ann stood on her employer’s loading dock sorting through furniture that the newly bankrupt company was selling. It was at that moment that Ann came across Kackie Gilbert, who inquired about the furniture and situation. After sharing the story of the company and leading Kackie to the office to view the remaining furniture, the two got to talking. It turned out Kackie was the vice president of a local public relations firm, Hayslett Sorrell, and they were looking for a receptionist. That introduction led to an interview with Charlie and Judy Hayslett and onto a career at Hayslett Group. A true story of fate.

Over the past decade, Ann has been an instrumental member of Hayslett Group and has assisted with a number of outreach projects, proving time and time again to be an indispensible part of our firm family. As we look to the next decade of success at Hayslett Group, we look forward to the continued involvement and dedication of our employees, like Ann, of whom we’re thankful to have in the right place at the right time.
