FEI is a problem-solving, results-driven team of industry veterans obsessed with helping independent business owners thrive on their own terms.

We support the largest network of serious contractors, with operations across more than 200 markets. Members benefit from collective negotiating strength, participation in invitation-only events, and exclusive business resources, enabling them to buy ‘right’ and serve their customers better.

Our Core Values

Commitment

  • Work Hard Play Hard (We possess a work hard; play hard attitude in everything we do.
  • Dedicated (We are dedicated to winning by ensuring that we bring value to our members and supply partners, our most important constituents.)
  • Accountable (We have a winning competitive spirit and are engaged team players that hold each other accountable.)
  • We Sweat the Small Stuff (The details matter to us and we focus on every detail that help create and make memorable experiences for our members, their teams, and our supply partners).

Servant Leadership

  • Selfless (We strive to serve our team, members, and supply partners first, ahead of personal objectives.) We keep the needs of our members, their team members and our supply partners at the heart of our work, doing what is best for the business and best for them.
  • Humble (We embrace a leadership style where position and title are secondary, and we actively listen in order to understand before being understood.). We give credit to others.
  • Authentic (We talk straight and are transparent and genuine in all that we do – we don’t pretend to be something we are not.)

Pursue What’s Next

  • We find energy in adapting and re-inventing how we do things; from the way we work to how we care for others.
  • We always want to make it better by looking for continuous improvements.
  • We are constant learners and don’t assume our knowledge and skills will be sufficient for tomorrow’s challenges.
  • We encourage, embrace and support feedback and never assume we are above feedback.

We Walk the Talk

  • Examine our practices openly and honestly, learn from our mistakes and meet our commitments. We value integrity in both senses: that our actions match our words (we walk the talk), and that all of our work contributes to a functional whole (our sum is greater than our parts).
  • We talk strait by being honest and telling the truth. We let people know where we stand and we call things what they are. We don’t manipulate people or distort facts and we don’t spin the truth.
  • We speak about people as if they were present and we represent others who aren’t there to speak for themselves.
  • We are energetic, and we approach business with passion and enthusiasm. We derive our energy from each other as a team and from our community of members and supply partners.
  • We believe in the concept of “Physically Fit Before Mentally Fit”. We strive to be our best versions of ourselves by being in good physical condition, knowing it’s important connection to our mental fitness.

Our Core Focus

We help the independent business operator thrive on their own terms.
