GP&C Creates A Family

In addition to supporting our Houston community at large, we create our own community, or “family,” at GP&C.

Celebrations
GP&C employee celebrations include monthly birthday gatherings, food truck events, ice cream socials, popcorn parties, holiday celebrations, costume contests and more. Our Social Committee helps GP&C feel like a family and makes it a great place to work.

Hurricane Harvey Clean Up
As the storm cleared, we learned that 30 of our employees were directly affected by Hurricane Harvey flooding. We organized crews of GP&C employees, family members, and neighbors and helped with clean-up and demo. While the destruction was hard to see, the teamwork and resiliency that we experienced was inspiring, and why we call ourselves the GP&C Family.
