On this edition of DeKalb Business Today, host Matt Holmes welcomes maybe the most diverse group of businesses in the show’s short history. Bio-One Atlanta owner Paul Cervino shares some of the good and bad from his work in cleaning up crime scenes. Local radio host Jacqlyn Charles talks about her non-profit work at Women Are Worthy. Vonetta Daniels rounds out the panel, tracing her path from military veteran to head of one of Metro Atlanta’s top emerging consulting firms, VYD and Associates.
Paul Cervino/Owner, Bio-One Atlanta
Bio-One Atlanta bills itself as the best choice for assisting victims and their families in cases of suicide, homicide or traumatic death.
Typically, someone will call and speak with the owner directly. The owner, Paul, will then go through in detail the steps that need to be taken. A time is then set for the Bio-One team to complete the job. Payment is addressed after cleanup as it is their first priority to complete decontamination in a discrete and compassionate method for all Bio-One clients.
They partner with cities, police, fire, emergency services personnel, victim services groups, hoarding task forces, apartment complexes, insurance companies and many more to provide the best and fastest service possible.
Jacqlyn Charles/Women Are Worthy
