ORLANDO, Fla., ---- GroundFlights has officially launched their exclusive and innovative ground transportation service in Central Florida. Their fleet currently consists of their specially designed and technologically advanced Lincoln Navigator Mobile Executive Offices.
These MEOs provide the productivity, comfort, flexibility and attentiveness of a private jet at a fraction of the cost. GroundFlights is an alternative mode of business travel within the state of Florida for those who typically use commercial air or personal and company vehicles to reach cities around the state for meetings, events, and other business-focused matters.
It was the promise of the benefits of being able to recapture the massive amounts of lost productivity typically experienced with conventional business travel that made GroundFlights an easy decision for Tel-Tron Technologies. Tel-Tron, located in Daytona Beach, is a leading manufacturer of technology solutions for senior living communities and regularly travels throughout the state to visit new prospective clients, to strengthen relationships with existing clients and for technical service installations and upgrades.
Brian Dawson, president and chief executive officer of Tel-Tron said, “The decision to use GroundFlights was a no-brainer. Our growth depends on business travel to prospect and customer sites, but that doesn’t mean we can afford an entire day of lost productivity while doing so. GroundFlights Mobile Executive Offices offer my staff comfortable surroundings, technology to stay connected and productive, and at a price point that makes sense for our business.”
After a recent GroundFlights trip, Malcolm Graham, vice president at Tel-Tron said, “I basically doubled my productivity,” adding that the best part of his GroundFlights experience was, “Being productive while I would have otherwise been driving. I visited four customer sites and was effectively ‘in the office’ all day.”

Jack Hanson, LCAM, co-founder and partner of Melrose-Sovereign Companies with Ellen Lumpkin, LCAM, said marketing manager Michael Gonzalez will head the program.

Oct. 5 is Deadline for Pragmatic Works Foundation’s Next Free IT Training and Job Placement Class
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Pragmatic Works Foundation, a non-profit branch of Jacksonville-based Pragmatic Works, is accepting applications through Oct. 5 for an upcoming training and job-placement class.
The free session – scheduled for Oct. 24-28 – is designed for military personnel transitioning back to civilian life, those who have suffered a job loss, and others who are struggling and do not have the financial means to break into the Internet technology field, said Brian Knight, founder of Pragmatic Works.
“With thousands of soldiers returning from military service abroad and many companies cutting jobs, the foundation is trying to help jump start IT careers while filling a skill shortage in the industry,” he said.
In its fourth year, the Pragmatic Works Foundation’s classes offer technical training such as database administration, business intelligence and application development. The foundation recently added an optional second week of training to their curriculum.
In addition to the technological training the program provides, students in the program also are mentored on skills to help them master interviews and are given job placement services through an onsite recruiter.
“We’re passionate about changing the lives of the individuals going through the program by giving them a career path that will excite them and give them the maximum opportunity,” Knight said. “The veterans we typically see may have had a very technical job in the military but, when they try to transition those same skills to the civilian world hiring managers want more focused skills.”
Knight said the foundation looks for those who are “very passionate” about getting into the technology field, but can’t make the financial investments needed for training and hardware.
“Our goal is to provide candidates the opportunity to learn new technologies from industry experts,” he said. “We can teach them the technical aspects, but we can’t teach them the passion.”
Those interested in attending the session should complete a profile at www.pragmaticworks.com/foundation.
In addition to prospective students, the Foundation also is seeking businesses to serve as partners by providing jobs to those who complete the training program. Interested hiring managers can contact Pragmatic Works at foundation@pragmaticworks.com.
