  • サマリー

  • This week we speak with Josh and Alan Bomstein. Alan Bomstein is the founder of Clearwater-based Creative Contractors, which he launched, a bit by accident, he says in 1974. His son Josh Bomstein was recently named CEO of the company. With about $190 million in revenue, the company’s portfolio of notable projects includes the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, BayCare corporate headquarters and the Kirkland Ranch Academy of Innovation.

    Business Observer Managing Editor Mark Gordon spoke with Alan and Josh about the early days of the business 50 years ago (it involved building an ice rink inside a Florida mall in 1979) and the projects that define the business today. Alan also talked about how the company overcame an audit crisis in the late 1980s, while Josh talked about the lessons he’s learned while working with his dad.
