Management

Current Simply Serving owners, Thomas Grenon and William Bunce, purchased the company in October of 2020 after the passing of longtime owner, Ann Marie McCann. Tom has been with Simply Serving since 2014 and wanted to see the company continue on and thrive.

Tom and Bill had been talking for years about running their own business, and they know that Simply Serving is the right fit for them. They aim to uphold the company’s reputation for going above and beyond to ensure each client’s event is a success. They will continue providing the unique and outstanding service you have come to expect, all while nurturing the loyal client relationships that Ann Marie built over the years.

As people prepare for the time when they can gather again to celebrate milestones and life events, Tom, Bill and the Simply Serving staff are ready to offer you their personal yet professional touch, allowing you to spend time with your guests and enjoy the day carefree.

Thomas Grenon

Co-Owner

Tom brings an extensive background in management that started with the travel industry in Boston. He worked for Grand Circle Corporation, where he started in client service and moved quickly into operational management, supervising teams working with overseas vendors such as hotels, transportation providers and cruise lines. He later managed a team of sales agents for Viking River Cruises in Boston and was part of the team that opened the new Ikea store in Stoughton, MA, where he managed the kitchen department.

Since 2014, Tom has pursued his lifelong passion for the theater and performing, working with leading Boston-area theater companies such as the Actors’ Shakespeare Project, Gloucester Stage Company, Bridge Repertory Company, Huntington Theater, Speakeasy Stage, New Rep and The Nora Theater Company.

William Bunce

Co-Owner

Bill possesses vast management experience in the hospitality industry that has instilled an inherent drive to provide exceptional service.

Since 2017, Bill has served as the General Manager of the AAA Five-Diamond Ritz-Carlton Boston, where he is responsible for all aspects of the hotel’s daily operations. Previously, he spent 17 years with Starwood Hotels & Resorts, with which he held key operational roles at company properties in New York City, Boston and Providence. Bill was the opening General Manager for the new W Boston Hotel & Residences, which quickly became one of the leading hotels in the city and secured the prestigious and highly competitive honor, “W Hotel of the Year” in 2011.

Bill shares Tom’s passion for the theater. As a matter of fact, Bill and Tom met 35 years ago in NYC at The National Shakespeare Conservatory, where they were both studying acting. They now reside in Boston and are empty nesters after raising their 3 adopted sons, Michael, Joseph and David.

Bill and Tom have often combined their complementary hospitality and travel knowledge to fuel a mutual interest in travel and discovery.
