ST. CLAIR SHORES – Mashell Carissimi, CEO of JMC Electrical Contractor, is receiving the National Association of Women Business Owners Greater Detroit Chapter’s Top 10 Michigan Business Women Up-And-Coming Award and an Honorable Mention for Enterprising Women’s Enterprising Women of the Year Award.
JMC Electrical Contractor is a union electrical contracting company providing commercial, industrial, and institutional electrical services. The company started in Carissimi’s basement in June 2010. With just two employees, Carissimi and her husband, a master electrician, the company secured a contract to provide services to a local casino. Nearly four years later, the company has since moved up from the basement to a building all its own, hired two full-time employees as well as several union electricians, doubled its sales from the previous year in 2012 and 2013.
“When I started JMC Electrical Contractor, LLC in my basement less than four years ago, my goal was to run a viable union electrical contracting firm, provide my family with financial stability as well as provide employment opportunities for others and give back to the community,” Carissimi said. “The success of the company is a product of a great deal of hard work, and I am humbled and honored by accolades such as these.”
2014 marks the 20th year NAWBO is recognizing and honoring women from the Detroit area who make a difference. The Top 10 Up-And-Coming Award recognizes emerging and promising woman business owners who have owned their business five years or less. The award recipients will be recognized at NAWBO;s annual award dinner, held this year on March 13, at Laurel Manor in Livonia.
