The former Frank Kent Cadillac building on the Benbrook Traffic Circle has a new purpose.
Kelly Johns has been named president of Ideal Partners, CEO Kortney Paul announced on Friday in a press release.
Johns is Ideal Partners’ first president and brings to the company a wide range of knowledge and an array of experience in business growth and operational excellence, according to the company.
“This is a tremendous opportunity to assist and contribute to the rapid organic and acquisitional growth of Ideal Partners,” Johns says in a statement. “I’m looking forward to working with the talented team in place to help the company continue to service the Fort Worth community with a vast variety of services.”
Johns, a 1993 graduate of TCU, where he was also a pitcher for the Horned Frogs baseball team, most recently served as director of procurement for Walker Engineering. Johns also worked for Crawford Electric Company where he worked his way from branch manager to regional vice president.
Ideal Partners, headquartered in Fort Worth, has experienced widespread growth since its beginnings as a pest control company in 2010 while expanding as commercial and residential services group, offering additional services in fire protection, security, concrete, and HVAC.
This year, the company moved its base of operations into the former Frank Kent Cadillac building on the Benbrook Traffic Circle.
