Andrea Freeman Promoted to Regional VP Operations

SUN is pleased to announce the promotion of Andrea Freeman to Regional Vice President Operations. In her new role she will manage the housekeeping operations of the Carolina's Region and area Directors. Andrea has grown into an outstanding leader at SUN who is passionate about people, service and building key relationships. Andrea started her career at SUN in 2003 as the Assistant Director at Ellington at Wachesaw East in Murrells Inlet, SC. As she steadily honed leadership skills, she was promoted to Director in 2015. During her tenure, Andrea managed several resort properties simultaneously along the Grand Strand, including Ellington, Sandpebble Beach Resort, Blue Water Resort, Sea Mystique Resort, and Travel Advantage Network. She is a key contributor to the success and growth of SUN leadership, often traveling and mentoring new Directors. In late 2020 Andrea was promoted again to Area Manager where she helped launch the new Sun Services division for the commercial and residential market. "Andrea has been a responsible, highly regarded leader in our organization for quite some time. This promotion is well-deserved and we look forward to her heightened contributions," stated David Fries, President & COO.

SUN Announces 2020 Q4 Service Excellence Award

We are excited to announce that Tracy Miles is the Service Excellence Award recipient for October – December 2020!

Tracy is an Inspector at both Palm Beach Resort and The Shores Resort in Orange Beach, Alabama. She is being recognized for her dedication and willingness to always go above and beyond the call of duty. Tracy joined the SUN family in 2018 as a Room Attendant and is the ultimate team player, wearing many hats supporting her team. During the busy summer months, she pitched in to make sure rooms were ready on time, took on additional units and didn’t stop until the workload for the day was complete. Most recently, both resorts have been closed due to flooding from Hurricane Sally. Tracy has been a tremendous help taking on all types of roles from laundry and cleaning to fire watch and gate security. She’s even come to work in the middle of the night when needed. A guest favorite, Tracy has been mentioned many times in guest comments for service excellence. In one instance, she helped move an elderly couple whose air conditioning failed and were visibly distraught. She took initiative to help pack up all their belongings and food items and get them set up in another unit. She’s always eager to work and is a great motivator on her team. She has earned the trust and respect of her team who lovingly refers to her as ‘Nana’. Tracy’s can-do attitude and dedication make her a true asset to her team and the SUN family!

International Housekeeping Week – Tribute to Our Unsung Heroes Of Housekeeping

International Housekeeping Week is celebrated each year in September to honor and recognize the dedication of hard working cleaning staff. Housekeepers are truly unsung heroes who work tirelessly to clean and disinfect in order to keep our communities safe. During the COVID-19 pandemic, cleanliness has never been more important with homeowners, businesses and major industries globally all ramping up their cleaning efforts. The pandemic has required housekeeping staff to change the way they work. They have increased the frequency of cleaning in many areas and embraced new tools such as electrostatic sprayers and personal protective equipment. We are so grateful for the dedication and determination of our staff who play an important role in reducing the spread of illness. We applaud the efforts of everyone who is living out what it means to put the interest of others first. Thank you our unsung Heroes of Housekeeping for looking after us all and thank you for your critical contributions to keeping us safe.
