Recognized for Safety Excellence

 

We’re proud to share that our team received two safety awards from the Maine State Group Trust: the prestigious Richard J. Haines Memorial Award for Safety Excellence and a second award recognizing zero lost time claims during the 2024 fund year.

 

These honors reflect our strong safety culture, built under the leadership of Jess Smith, our Director of Health & Safety, and supported by the ongoing commitment of our entire team.

Annual Company Meetings

Earlier this year we gathered for our annual company meetings. We reflected on our progress and looked ahead to the future. These events allow us to engage in both technical and companywide discussions, so that we can continue to learn and grow to better serve you.

 

Beyond the learning, these gatherings are also about strengthening relationships, sharing ideas, and of course, having some fun!
