PHILANTHROPIST AND AWARD-WINNING ENTREPRENEUR, SHOWS THE VALUE OF SELF-IMPROVEMENTSince 1991—the year CertaPro Painters was incorporated—Chris Drucquer has been providing Philadelphia with professional painting services through his own locations of North America’s largest painting company. Yet even after over two decades in business, Drucquer, a graduate from The University of Pennsylvania, refuses to rest on his laurels of past accomplishments. As a result, Drucquer’s CertaPro stores—one in Narberth, and one in Bryn Mawr—continue to exhibit tremendous growth, illustrating the value of an entrepreneur’s dogged refusal to let former successes soften the steely resolve that made him flourish in the first place.

Now, Drucquer’s success, already well recognized by his many satisfied customers, is also being affirmed by some of Philadelphia’s most prestigious

CHRIS DRUCQUERorganizations. Drucquer’s CertaPro Painters of the Main Line has recently been rated as one of Philadelphia’s fastest-growing businesses by Philadelphia 100®, the Wharton Small Business Development Center, the Entrepreneurs’ Forum of Greater Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Business Journal. Drucquer was publicly honored for his entrepreneurial acumen on Thursday, October 16th at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Pennsylvania Campus.

“In 2009 I relaunched my business with an eye toward more efficiency in the face of the recession; I cut overhead positions, I cut overhead expenses, and I reinvented my relationships with my painters which made me even more competitive in the marketplace,” says Drucquer, explaining his company’s most recent reinvigoration. “As a consequence of the relaunch, sales have tripled and they continue to increase exponentially.”

But Drucquer’s consistent pursuit of improvement extends beyond that benefiting his bottom line. For years, Drucquer has been instrumental in a number of Philadelphia-community causes, including an annual coat drive which netted over 1,000 jackets for needy recipients in 2013, an August book drive which obtained over 4,700 books for underprivileged children in the Kensington area of Philadelphia, sponsorship for a Homes for our Troops 5K which has already raised over $100,000 and a number of events for children at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia attended by the company’s mascot, Bristles.

Perhaps the simplest explanation for Drucquer’s achievements both as a profitable business owner and as a major contributor to the Philadelphia community can be found in his succinct philosophy on effectively meeting the demands of the marketplace. “People want great service, excellent craftsmanship, and a fair price. We give that to them.”
