Todd Thomson/ Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce
Executive Director of Public Affairs

Todd Thomson is the Executive Director of Public Affairs for the Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce. Todd has over 20 years of experience in Florida government and politics including serving as staff director for the redistricting committee in the Florida House of Representatives during the 2002 redistricting cycle. Todd Thomson has also has consulted on legislative campaigns on the federal, state and local levels as well as lobbying for a number of business entities.

PENSACOLA, Fla. – Dec. 9, 2015 – The Greater Pensacola Chamber – along with the Gulf Breeze Area Chamber of Commerce, Gulf Coast African American Chamber of Commerce, Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce, Perdido Key Chamber of Commerce and Santa Rosa County Legislative Coalition – held its Legislative Luncheon in front of 250 community, business, state and regional representatives in downtown Pensacola today.

The Greater Pensacola Chamber released its priorities for the 2016 legislative year, which are broken into three categories: Creating a Better Business Environment, Cutting the Cost of Doing Business and Hometown Heroes.

To help create a better business environment, the Greater Pensacola Chamber recommends that state and local government officials act diligently when making economic development decisions and to streamline permitting and regulatory processes that sometimes hinder business opportunities. The Chamber also asks the Florida Legislature to be prepared to respond to any adverse judicial decision that might cause workers’ compensation rates in Florida to rise.

The Greater Pensacola Chamber endorses the entirety of Governor Rick Scott’s $1 billion tax cut proposal. Specifically, the Chamber calls for a 1 percent cut in the Florida Business Rent Tax, as well as elimination of the Income Tax on Manufacturing and Retail Businesses and the Sales Tax on Manufacturing Machinery and Equipment. The Chamber also fully supports the proposed increase in the amount of income exempt from the Florida Corporate Income Tax from $50,000 to $75,000.

To help improve the lives of our hometown heroes, the Greater Pensacola Chamber announces its support for two pieces of pro-veteran legislation. The Chamber urges the passage of HB 269, which would require the Florida Department of Children and Families to establish the Florida Combat Veterans Care Coordination Program. This program would provide combat veterans and their families with behavioral healthcare referral and care coordination services. The Chamber also supports SB 404, which would create the Veterans Employment Small Business Grant Program within the Department of Veterans Affairs. This program would offer small businesses in Florida a one-time grant of $3,000 for each veteran hired, or $5,000 for each disabled veteran hired.

“The Greater Pensacola Chamber supports these common sense proposals that will help grow our local businesses while creating a better quality of life for our hometown heroes,” said Todd Thomson, Executive Director of Public Affairs for the Greater Pensacola Chamber.

The Martelli’s are an American family who run one of the most successful sewing equipment companies in the country.

This family-owned operation, includes John and Marsha Martelli, along with their son, daughter, and grandchildren. When you’re working with family on a daily basis, there is bound to be a lot of drama. The Martelli’s know drama, but at the end of the day, they also know love. The show features a unique balance between doing what it takes to run a family business and highlights the likeability of the Martelli family themselves. It also features John Martelli’s love for inventing and displays the characteristics of an American family with a strong Italian heritage.

This show is currently in pre-production and plans to begin airing in the Spring of 2016.

The Martelli’s have a solid entrepreneur background and a strong Italian heritage.

The family was a part of the 12 million immigrants that entered the United States through the portal of Ellis Island, a small island in the New York Harbor. It is now estimated that 40 percent of all current U.S. citizens can trace at least one of their ancestors to Ellis Island. The Martelli family were known for being hard workers and innovators. In fact, John Martelli’s father, Anthony, was known for stating, “If man built it, I can fix it”. History shows that the Martelli’s could not only fix what man built, but innovate and provide cutting edge inventions that help millions of families.

For over 20 years, John Martelli’s inventions have found enormous success, particularly in the field of sewing and quilting. The Martelli family have provided quilters and other sewing and crafting enthusiasts with the tools and accessories to pursue their art and express themselves.

Their company values innovation and continual improvement through the support of a dedicated research and development team. The Martelli’s believe that it really means something to offer a product that will be appreciated and recommended to others.

What sets Martelli Enterprises apart is their commitment to research, engineering, design, and testing for all of their products. Research and development is the starting point for providing the tools that allow you to execute your creative vision.

The Martellis business is family owned and operated. They are on the premises daily to oversee the many operations. The business began with four family members, and has now grown to include over 20 dedicated employees who are like an extension of the family.

As a new generation steps up to serve their customers, the Martelli’s anticipate preserving this unique combination–a corporate business with a family mentality.

Through ergonomically designed tools like the ErgoCutter, or through innovations in design like the adjustable height of our Longarm Quilting Machine and Work Stations, making life easier for you is what the Martelli’s are all about, allowing you to excel in your chosen craft!

Danny Mortimer is an honest to goodness bona fide Panhandle local; born at the NAS Hospital and raised right here in Pensacola. He has over 35 years’ experience coast-to-coast in outside sales, sales management, and business ownership.

In 1981 he was recruited into the life insurance industry and soon added to his portfolio a number of securities licenses with the SEC as well as certified financial advisor. He grew his financial practice to well over 100 agents before transitioning into the wireless communication industry from 1998 – 2003 where as a broker he focused primarily on wireless solutions for businesses.

From 2003 – 2007 he was quite successful in the trade show industry. As part owner of a company manufacturing portable modular tradeshow equipment and producing high resolution digital graphics, Danny set up distribution networks throughout the world but primarily in North America. He grew this company well over 300% in just 3 years by developing solid reseller relationships with several of the largest franchise companies in the world such as Sign-A-Rama, FastSigns, Signs Now, and Allegra just to name a few.

In 2008 he came full circle back to the financial industry, this time in the bank card segment as a merchant processing broker. His financial and sales management experience uniquely qualified him to help build a successful team for Card Payment Solutions along with his own residual portfolio of merchant clientele here locally and throughout the Southeast.

Danny was blessed to marry his Woodham High School sweetheart, Angela Bills. They currently call the Greenville area of South Carolina their home but can’t seem to stay away from the Panhandle.

Group benefits including Life, Health, Dental, Vision, and Disability insurance
Key Person insurance
Buy/Sell agreements
Voluntary payroll deducted life insurance*
Executive carve-out plans

Executive Benefits

The success of most businesses is tied into the talent, passion and work ethics of their key executives. Executive benefit packages can help you attract, motivate, and retain high-caliber employees and keep your company healthy and stable. We can help you with non-qualified plans, supplemental employee retirement plans, split dollar plans, and more.

Succession Planning

Succession planning allows owners to leave their business on their own timeframe while preparing their company to be transferred to family members, key employees, an outside party, or even a charity. This must be done in a way that achieves personal financial security, maintains harmony, and achieves maximum value for the business.

Key Person Insurance

Key person life insurance offers a death benefit that indemnifies an employer for the loss of one of its most important assets – the key person. This can help assure continuity of the business for employees, customers and creditors, and protects against losses in sales, momentum, and credit. It can also be used to recruit and develop a replacement for the employee.

Buy-Sell Agreements

A buy–sell agreement is a legally binding agreement between co-owners of a business that governs the situation if a co-owner dies or leaves the business, whether by force or by choice. A funded cross-purchase buy-sell plan utilizes life insurance to ensure that the arrangement is properly funded so that there will be money when the event is triggered.

Deferred Compensation

Deferred compensation is a written agreement between an employer and an employee where the employee chooses to have part of his or her compensation withheld by the company, invested on their behalf, and distributed back to them at a pre-determined point in the future. Deferred compensation can be used as a flexible way to attract and incentivize key employees.
