Chamber Welcomes Four New Members

 

We’re excited to welcome Five Diamond Cleaning Service to the Winterville Chamber of Commerce! Founded and operated by Alana Morentin, Five Diamond Cleaning Service is dedicated to bringing joy to others through high-quality cleaning services.

Alana operates as a solo cleaner, offering top-quality, non-harsh cleaning solutions. She provides flexible cleaning packages, including one-time deep cleans, recurring maintenance plans, and customized solutions. As she expands into commercial cleaning, Alana is focusing on small offices and community spaces.

Serving Pitt, Wilson, Lenoir, and Craven counties, Alana’s favorite part of the job is the happiness and relief she sees on her clients’ faces when they walk into a freshly cleaned space. It’s about more than just cleaning - it’s about creating a positive impact in people’s lives.

Alana’s goals include:

  • Supporting local businesses by offering cleaning services that help create clean, healthy workspaces
  • Serving community-focused organizations, like the Ronald McDonald House
  • Providing job opportunities for local residents as her business grows
  • Helping families and business owners maintain work-life balance by handling their cleaning needs
  • Building a trusted local brand that is recognized for reliability and quality.

Originally from a military family, Alana has called North Carolina home since 2018. As a single mother, she strives to be a positive example for her daughter by showing the importance of community and supporting local businesses. “I love brightening people’s days - whether through my work or my personality,” - and when you meet Alana, you'll see just how much her personality shines!

We’re excited to welcome 360 Golf Carts as a new member of the Winterville Chamber of Commerce!

Founded by Brian Harris, 360 Golf Carts started as a side hobby and quickly grew into Pitt County’s only dedicated golf cart dealership. After spending nearly a decade as a Transportation Officer with the Pitt County Sheriff’s Department, Brian took early retirement in 2020 to pursue his passion full time — and it’s paid off.

What began in a small shop has now expanded into a much larger space featuring a full showroom, a dedicated service area, and room for a growing inventory. Brian and his team sell used golf carts from all major manufacturers, offer service and parts for all brands, and specialize in custom builds — from practical upgrades to fully reimagined rides.

One example of their creative work is Hellcart — a fully customized cart inspired by the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Designed and built from the frame up, it features high-end performance upgrades, premium tech, and custom-fabricated parts. It’s a testament to the kind of detail and innovation 360 Golf Carts brings to every project.

Brian’s goal is to offer dependable service, honest guidance, and options for every type of customer — from the casual cruiser to the custom enthusiast. He’s also proud to be part of the Winterville community and has participated in local events like the Watermelon Festival’s parade.

Join us in welcoming 360 Golf Carts to the Chamber! Reach out to Brian today to find out what cart is best for your needs here.

 
 
 

We’re proud to welcome Whiting Electrical Services as a new member!

Owned and operated by veteran Brad Whiting, his company is built on a foundation of integrity, precision, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Brad brings over eight years of electrical experience to the table, spanning everything from small residential jobs to massive, multi-billion-dollar projects. His specialties include 120-480v work, instrumentation and controls, service upgrades, area lighting retrofits, and more.

Brad’s background as a U.S. Air Force veteran and former HH-60 Crew Chief for Combat Search and Rescue under Special Operations has shaped his approach to business—prioritizing leadership, efficiency, and results. During his time managing large-scale crews of 50–75 electricians, Brad was able to increase productivity by over 150% on major projects, a testament to his skill and dedication.

Now serving the Pitt County area, Whiting Electrical Services also proudly operates as a certified Generac Dealership. Brad and his team are certified to install, diagnose, and service Generac generators, including warranty-covered repairs and full engine replacements - even when others can't find the fix.

If you’re looking for an honest, knowledgeable electrician who truly stands behind his work, look no further. You can contact Brad here.

We’re excited to welcome Kate Ker Digital Communications as one of the newest members!

Her ability to tell meaningful stories that highlight the heart of our community has made her a familiar name across Pitt County.

Now, with over a decade of experience in marketing and digital communications, Kate is bringing her passion for storytelling to businesses and nonprofits through her creative agency. At Kate Ker Digital Communications, she helps clients build a strong, professional, and consistent presence across social media platforms - one story at a time.

Her work is fueled by both purpose and passion. As a mom, Kate finds daily inspiration in her daughters, who remind her to keep striving for balance and to pursue meaningful work. Her clients not only benefit from her strategic mindset and creative eye - they also gain a partner who truly cares about their success and the impact they have on their communities.

You may have seen the news that 360 Golf Carts - one of our newest members and a proud partner in the Golf Cart Parade - experienced a fire at their location this week. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but they did suffer damage and the loss of several carts. You can read their statement here.

In times like this, even the smallest gestures of support can go a long way. A referral, a follow/share on social media, or simply engaging with their posts can help boost their visibility and recovery. Please consider showing 360 Golf Carts some love as they work to bounce back!
