Let's face it, the story of a company is the story of people; real human beings with real human weaknesses & strengths and real dreams & values. Here is our story...
Paul Budish. Founder. Owner & CEO. I founded this company back in 2004 as Errand+. The idea was to create a "1 call" number to help busy people accomplish all the "stuff" of their day - a company with a fresh approach, unprecedented personal service, and a "yes" attitude! In 2005, I met Jeremy & Jonathan and the result is Accell Companies. Today I work out of our downtown St. Paul offices administrating a staff of over twenty, providing errand, courier, & photography services. I am excited to be a part of bettering the lives of our crew, our community, and crafting the fresh approach of Accell! My wife of 13 years and our three children make our home in Cottage Grove.
Jeremy Hunt. Owner & COO. In 2005 I brought my entrepreneurial spirit and passion for small business to Accell Companies at ground level. I also merged my photography business Crosstown Photo with Errand+ and the result is now part of Accell Companies (dba Accell Photo). Over the past 5 years Paul and I have worked hard to develop service strategies, streamline & automate processes, and build a reputable business in a crowded market. I feel blessed to be part of this story, watching a business grow from just a few guys driving around doing deliveries and taking photos to an office staff of five and an additional staff of over twenty on the road. I believe the best is yet to come! My wife of 12 years and our three sons reside in Richfield.
Jonathan Thompson. Owner & CFO. Meeting Paul in 2005 was perfect timing as I had been looking for a promising place to utilize my business resources: expertise & capitol. Together, we have devoted hours, original ideas, and passionate energy to develop a business model staged for further growth. We all continue to meet over a few Scotch eggs and brainstorm about how to best serve the Twin Cities' busiest people! My wife of 15 years and our two children live in Eagan.
Luke Albertson. Operations Manager & CTO. Luke has been with the company from the very beginning, helping Accell provide the friendly and professional service that we are still known for today. Currently Luke is in charge of the day to day operations of the business including technology, dispatch, and bookkeeping. He is known for staying amazingly calm under pressure and keeping us all laughing around the office. He is also a customer favorite!
Chris Hunt. Assistant Operations Manager. Chris has been with the company since 2006. Chris is a visionary and "big picture" kind of guy who has been a huge help in growing the company. Chris is a valued member of our operations staff from taking orders to dispatching.
