PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, is thrilled to announce Brian Towne, Franchise Owner of PuroClean of Bloomington, as the esteemed recipient of the prestigious 2024 On the Move Award at this year’s PuroClean International Convention.

Presented annually, the On the Move Award celebrates Franchise Owners who exemplify PuroClean’s core values of servant leadership, active collaboration, and extreme ownership—qualities Brian Towne, Franchise Owner of two locations in Normal, IL, has brought to life with passion and consistency since acquiring his first franchise in 2021. Under his leadership, PuroClean of Bloomington has soared, earning a stellar reputation for outstanding service and a steadfast commitment to the community it serves.

“Receiving the On the Move Award is incredibly meaningful for me and our entire team,” said Towne. “It’s a reflection of the momentum we’ve built through long hours, shared goals, and relentless dedication to doing things the right way. More than just a milestone, it’s proof that every extra mile, every after-hours call, and every challenge we’ve faced together is moving us toward something bigger.”

A proud alumnus of Illinois State University, Brian holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration. His professional journey began as a franchise location manager, where he gained valuable leadership and operational experience. He later joined a local small business, expanding his skill set in sales, business development, project management, and property management, successfully overseeing both commercial and residential rental portfolios.

Brian’s firsthand experience with the aftermath of property damage caused by flooding from heavy rains and unexpected mechanical failures deeply shaped his understanding of the stress and disruption these events have on homeowners and business owners alike. With this perspective, Brian leads PuroClean of Bloomington with a strong sense of purpose—providing compassionate customer care and restoring damaged properties with professionalism and integrity.

“Brian Towne exemplifies the spirit and dedication that the On the Move Award celebrates,” said Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean. “This award is not given lightly—only to those who demonstrate extraordinary leadership and drive to grow their business while uplifting others. Brian’s journey and success inspire all of us at PuroClean, and we are proud to recognize his achievements.”

For over 20 years, PuroClean has helped home and business owners with their restoration and remediation needs, serving communities across the United States and Canada.
