Career Highlights

"I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank you and your organization for your continued support of the Emergency Services in Westchester County. By you making improvements at your facility to better assess, coordinate and communicate conditions during any emergency situation, this process greatly enhances the safety of first responders from any emergency service organization as they arrive and operate. I have relayed this information of your support to the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services, and we hope more organizations within the private sector will follow your lead."

- Matthew Palmer, Field Operations Planner, ConEd Emergency Response Group

"As an inspector for the Westchester County Department of Health for close to twenty years to include hotel/motel compliance with New York States Temporary Residence Code for primarily fire safety (but also includes food safety, spas and pools, and UST's), it has been a pleasure to work with you all these years and watch us both grow through the ranks of our respective places of work where you have attained the deserving title of Director of Engineering.

To succeed and advance through the ranks, one has to have had a broad range of knowledge in various schools of engineering that a facility such as the Renaissance Hotel provides. This is not all that one has to have to be successful. One also has to be organized, detailed oriented, be a great manager, professional, budget oriented, well trained, tolerant and be able to deal with the many levels of regulatory agencies, whether they be in-house or from the outside - locals, county, state and federal - and be able to act upon their findings to be at/or above compliance. You have always gone above the call of duty to ensure that you have done everything possible in maintaining the highest level of safety at your facility."

"Allan explores the processes that cause events rather than thinking solely about the event."

- Donna Collings, General Manager

"I have found Allan Lawrence as a client to be a person of integrity and concern about the interests of his employer, of the guests in the hotel and for the staff. He has had to face some significant infrastructure challenges and frustrations, and I have never seen him visibly upset or out of sorts. His work style is relaxed but efficient, and he gets the job done. I have enjoyed working with Allan on the variety of projects we have helped him with, even the most perplexing. I look forward to continuing our association and friendship into the future."
