Pam Kridel
Sales Manager
Email: Pam@Coastal-Rental.com
Our newest hire is Pam Kridel who comes to us with over 20 years in the Hospitality Industry. She joins our Restaurant Rental team in sharing the same passion…”show you care, go that extra step and you will have a lifelong partner in the business.”
After getting her Masters In Hospitality Management, Pam created a niche clientele in realizing the lucrative possibilities for in-home private catering in the Miami market. While catering became more of a part-time job, Sysco Food Services recruited her to work its international customer base and then transferred her to the land of Southern Hospitality, Georgia.
Corporate event planning became Pam’s new direction for a number of years, then a break from the industry to become a residential real estate appraiser during the re-fi boom. Most recently, Pam worked on the broker side of the business, representing the major players in the industry…Tyson, Land O’Lakes, Smuckers, to name a few. Her diverse clientele ranged from Colleges/Universities, Business & Industry to small chains and Mom & Pop restaurants.
She looks forward to re-energizing her customer relationships by being a problem solver to the restaurant owner/catering manager when the need arises for rental of restaurant equipment. “Customer service is key because without it, you don’t make a lasting impression” is what Pam attributes her successes in the past, present and future.
