**Spot Light Group** Tulsa Facility Team

This month Tulsa Facility TEAM is in the **Spot Light**

Chris would like to take a minute to thank his entire team: 
Ken G, Josh B, Darryl W, Kourtney W & newbie Gary P. 

These individuals have come together as a team over the last few months, recently while Darryl was out, Josh stepped up to keep the refrigeration bench going, even taking the time to train Gary.    Ken has been heading up ice maker installs and maintenance - as a result the number of service calls has gone way down.  Kourtney has been doing a great job with the housekeeping duties and has expanded cleaning into areas we had not been servicing prior. 

Thank you everyone!
Chris

Rachelle, Bob and his team, Heidi and Esther- We had a full catering during the process of installing 2 Markets, great job from our catering staff as always

Julie & Stephanie came in from Tulsa to help sign up employees on Market accounts-these ladies went above and beyond while covering the third shift and did it all with an amazing customer service mindset

Steve,   

Thank you so  very much for this awesome donation towards the Kick Off For Kids program. It’s always very rewarding to drop off backpacks with all supplies needed for the school year plus the teachers goody baskets. KOFK’s program couldn’t continue without Imperials financial support! We are very appreciative for all you and your company do to make this happen each and every year.

Thanks,  Nancy

Happy July Anniversary!

From Xerox account about Wayne S Anderson:

“Wayne came out and replaced our filter and marked the date on it for us. He also replaced the broken microwave and appears to be working great! Thank you so much!

I remember Wayne from before…he’s been out on several occasions previously…he’s a real sweetheart!”

Good morning Imperial Team!

Just wanted to put a good word in for John Steele, Adam Hiett, Brent Gaines, Jamie Pannell, Scott Smith and any others involved in yesterday's vending installation at Oklahoma Blood Institute. 

The install team was forced at the last minute to provide this account a glass front machine instead of a stacker which was initially delivered. 

This was an unexpected customer request, but the install team did an excellent job of scrambling and making it happen all in the same day.

I followed up with the customer at the end of the day, and they were very appreciative of our efforts. 

Great work!  WCS!
