Congratulations to Mr. Rick Jones, recipient of the 2014 MacLellan Leadership Award. Rick oversees our operations at a large OEM facility. He exemplifies our core values of maintaining a positive attitude, trust, commitment and taking 100% responsibility. Both his team members and his customers provide the same response when asked about Rick, “…he has one mindset - that we work together as one team to keep our collective businesses moving forward.”
“We could not have ‘run the show’ without his encouragement and his ability to care so much, not just for the customer but for his entire team. He helped train us to be the best that we can be…as a TEAM” said MacLellan Team Leader Christina Stringfield.
