WCS - Amarillo!

Can I Just start by saying WOW!

 

The last two days have been crazy here in Amarillo! I recently got the contract for the Valero Mckee plant in Sunray Texas with 2500 employees.

The vendor that we took the business from pulled their machines out a week early around 32 machines.

 

Chad’s employees are top notch and stayed until the job was done 8:30 pm to be exact. Situations like this really makes you see the world-class service that Imperial has to offer with the great people we have! 

 

I want to thank Chad , ED , Toby , Tim for knocking it out of the park today!

Lance,

Just wanted to let you know that Delina and her team did a great job handling the magnitude and quickness of our cold mill outage. It was flawless execution on their part and we even had some comments from people in the mill about how quick the vending machines were up and running after the electricity was turned back on.

Please let her know we sincerely appreciate having her team and herself servicing our account!

Have a good day,

 

 

John

Hi Elaine,

Thanks for following up.  Everything was perfect!  The crew was very friendly and professional.  I’m pretty sure that having you all handle our event turnkey will be the best decision I’ve made all year. 

We’re looking forward to doing it again tomorrow over on Memorial.

Thanks so much,
