My name is Lynne Cannon and my husband and I own a GRN franchise. He has always been involved in the construction and fire protection industry so that is our focus. I have worked in HR at a large Methodist church for ten years and decided I needed to help with the admin side of our business because that is not his specialty. I have slowly gotten more involved with research and having conversations with people. My personality is on the quieter side if I am unsure of all the lingo but once I feel comfortable with the information, I love talking to people and helping them change their lives. We started in mainly fire protection with sprinkler designers, engineers, marke…

Hello everyone! My name is Hollie Harrell. My husband, Robbie, and I live in Easley. We also own a trucking company called Tiger Trucking & Logistics LLC. When the pandemic hit in 2020, my husband was activated and stationed at the Air Force base in Savannah where he stays Monday-Thursday. Since he has his CDL’s and so close to the port, we bought a semi truck and he hauls containers after work as our little “side hustle.” It has quickly turned profitable and we just bought a few more trucks and are looking to haul in Upstate SC and near Asheville with a few more drivers.
