LaRue was instrumental in the recruitment of additional leadership into the business, including the onboarding of CEO Eric Crabb. In March of 2021, LaRue was integral to the completion of JOBS-AMST’s completed merger with Valcourt Building Services, and the combined companies now service over 30 markets across the United States.
