Reef & Rainforest "Greening" Its Operation
(Dive Travel Business News - November 14, 2010) -- This month Reef & Rainforest is relocating its business headquarters to Portland, Oregon. The relocation to Oregon supports the adventure travel company’s plan for growth in the scuba travel market.
“While we have enjoyed ten years in the Bay Area, location isn't the most important factor in running our business. Advances in technology are allowing us to manage operations from anywhere we want. Portland is a green business-friendly city which appeals to me on both a personal and professional level.” says owner Jenny Collister, Reef & Rainforest.
The company’s management team will be based in Portland and the travel agents will work remotely. “Implementing a paperless office favorable to e-commuting has been a primary focus over the past six months.” says Chief Operating Officer, Julie Clarke. “Not only are we moving to an environmentally friendly city, we are also “greening” our work flow processes.”
