president of Reddway. “I have had the pleasure of witnessing it
firsthand for the past 25 years. I’m honored to work alongside the
dedicated people who make Reddaway a company that our customers
enjoy doing business with. It’s this culture and our people who
help us continue to thrive into the next century.”

customers they serve.
