Mechanical One attends the 2025 Ignite Luncheon!
This past Wednesday, April 16th, the Mechanical One team was at the Dr. Phillips center for the performing arts in downtown Orlando to attend the Ignite Luncheon hosted by the Hispanic chamber of metro Orlando and sponsored by Fairwind Credit Union. The Hispanic Chamber is a chamber native to central Florida, that specializes in connecting and showcasing local businesses while also providing resources and a helping hand along the way however they can. With a legacy spanning over three decades, the Chamber has empowered thousands of businesses across the region. As trustees of this chamber we attended this event in 2024, when we were nominated for Igniter of the year, and we won in the empowerment category!

We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Hispanic Chamber and building a stronger, more inclusive future for all Central Florida businesses.

Mechanical One and the Hispanic Chamber's Mission
Mechanical One and the Hispanic Chamber of Metro Orlando share a similar dedication to the Hispanic community. Mechanical one wants all homeowner to feel assured and have access to quality home services and one of the ways we’ve tried to make this possible is to have our own Spanish ad campaigns with none other than Lily Estefan from El Gordo y La Flaka. This ensures that our services are equally publicized to all communities, not only bridging the language gap but also demonstrating our commitment to cultural inclusivity in the home services industry. By meeting people where they are linguistically, and culturally, we're building lasting relationships and trust within the communities we proudly serve.
