           Andrew Peterson - Purchasing Agent
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           We’re excited to highlight Andrew Peterson as Central Consolidated’s featured employee this month!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Andrew is our Purchasing Agent who has been with Central since 2023. During his time at Central, he has served as a Project Engineer, Account Manager, and now Purchasing Agent. In his current role, Andrew supports operations by managing procurement, coordinating materials, and helping ensure our Teams have what they need to keep projects moving efficiently and effectively.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Prior to joining Central, Andrew spent eight years in counter sales and branch management and seven years as an HVAC Service Technician. His diverse industry experience gives him a strong understanding of both field operations and supply coordination, making him a valuable resource across all divisions.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           His Teammates describe him as, “Consistently going above and beyond expectations and exemplifying what it means to be a true Team player. He is always willing to step in and help wherever needed, never hesitating to take on tasks outside of his job description if it means supporting the Team or improving outcomes. Andrew’s actions are guided by a strong commitment to the success of Central, always prioritizing the best interest of the company, our clients, and his coworkers.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Outside of work, Andrew enjoys woodworking and spending time building projects by hand.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           We thank Andrew for his dedication and commitment to helping Central deliver Smart Solutions. We are grateful to have him as part of the Team!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;

      <title>Welcome to the Team!</title>
      <link>https://www.centralconsolidated.net/welcome-to-the-team-bassem-amin</link>
      <description>Central Consolidated welcomes Bassem Amin to the Team as VDC/BIM Director, bringing extensive technical expertise, leadership, and strategic thinking to the role.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Meet Bassem Amin | VDC/BIM Director
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           We are thrilled to welcome Bassem Amin to the Central Consolidated Team as our VDC/BIM Director.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Bassem will help lead and strengthen our Virtual Design and Construction efforts by overseeing BIM coordination, integration, and collaboration across projects to improve efficiency, accuracy, and project outcomes. With a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and Fine Arts from Hewlan University in Cairo, Egypt, and over 25+ years of experience serving in leadership roles such as VDC/BIM Director, BIM Integration Manager, and Senior VDC/BIM Coordinator, Bassem brings extensive technical expertise, strategic thinking, and leadership to his role.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Outside of work, Bassem’s career began by running his own architectural firm in Cairo for nearly 10 years. That experience taught him how to lead teams, manage clients, and make confident decisions under pressure early in his career, shaping the leadership style he carries today as a VDC/BIM Director.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Bassem’s dedication to collaboration, innovation, and leadership make him a strong asset to the Central Consolidated Team.
          &#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           Over the past decade, we’ve had the privilege of building lasting relationships, completing meaningful projects, and growing alongside the communities we serve. None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of our clients, the dedication of our employees, and the strong partnerships we’ve formed along the way.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           To our clients—thank you for trusting us with your projects and allowing us to be a part of your success.

           To our employees—your hard work, commitment, and passion are the foundation of everything we’ve achieved.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           To our partners—your collaboration and shared vision have helped us deliver excellence year after year.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Together, your trust and partnership have played a vital role in shaping who we are today. As we look ahead, we are excited to continue building on this foundation and serving Southwest Kansas for many years to come.

      <link>https://www.centralconsolidated.net/mechanical-construction-project-highlight-sports-of-the-world</link>
      <description>O’Brate Field House features large-scale HVAC &amp; plumbing systems supporting sports spaces. This project strengthened Team skills &amp; supports the community long-term.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            Large-Scale Mechanical and Plumbing Installation Conducted by Central Consolidated's Mechanical Construction Division
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           The O’Brate Field House in Garden City, Kansas, is equipped with a commercial mechanical system designed to support large indoor sports spaces. Multiple rooftop HVAC units provide heating, cooling, and ventilation to the courts, turf areas, conference rooms, and offices, ensuring excellent air quality during high-occupancy events. The facility’s plumbing system supports heavy daily use with distributed potable water, large restroom groups, locker-room showers, and service lines for the kitchen and concession areas. Sanitary drainage routes wastewater to the city sewer, while floor drains, mop sinks, and hose bibbs throughout the facility make cleaning and maintenance efficient and safe.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           This project provided our field crew with hands-on experience in large-scale mechanical and plumbing installation. Working in a fast-paced sports-center environment helped strengthen coordination, problem-solving, and communication skills while adapting to design changes and tight deadlines. Newer technicians had the opportunity to learn alongside experienced team members, building confidence with commercial systems and refining their craftsmanship.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Central is proud to have contributed to this project, supporting a facility that will benefit athletes, staff, and the community for years to come.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

      <description>Central’s Service Division upgraded a facility by removing a basement Trane chiller and installing a modular system for improved efficiency and reliability.</description>

           Modular Chiller Upgrade and A2L Safety Integration Conducted by Central Consolidated's Mechanical Service Division
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Central’s Service Division recently completed a major upgrade project that included removing the existing Trane chiller from the facility’s basement—an effort that required the unit to be cut apart and safely hauled out—and replacing it with a new modular Trane chiller system for improved efficiency and reliability.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           In addition, our Team installed a new emergency refrigerant leak detection and mitigation system to meet updated code requirements related to the flammability of A2L refrigerants, ensuring enhanced safety and compliance.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Lastly, we replaced the cooling tower media on the existing cooling tower to help restore optimal system performance.

  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           We are proud to recognize Bill Nichols as Central Consolidated’s RISCIT Q2 Employee for 2026.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Bill has been a dedicated member of the Central Team since 1993. He began his career as a helper and progressed through the roles of apprentice, journeyman, and foreman before stepping into his current position as Piping General Superintendent. Bill is currently responsible for supervising crews, ensuring adherence to plans and specifications, maintaining high-quality workmanship, and keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Bill was nominated by his Team for exemplifying the core values that define Central.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           One Team member shared:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           “Bill’s dedication to Central exemplifies every core value we have. His selflessness, respect, integrity, and teamwork are foundational for our Team. His dedication to his Team carries over to our clients, and that commitment has built solid relationships with many of them. He sacrifices his time to ensure his Team succeeds, and even under the tremendous amount of pressure placed on him, he always wears a smile and shows a willingness to assist. Bill’s actions and dedication reflect greatly on the company, our employees, and our clients.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Another Team member added: 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           “Bill has, time and time again, come up with the exact solution to a problem straight from his wealth of knowledge, saving the entire construction service Team multiple headaches. He voluntarily works long hours to ensure jobs are completed in a timely and proper manner, and you never hear him complain. He is always willing to train others on something they may not know, and no question is ever a stupid question to him. I genuinely believe that without him here, we would not be as efficient as we are. He is our encyclopedia of all things plumbing and more.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Bill’s decades of experience, leadership, and unwavering commitment to his Team and clients make him truly deserving of this recognition.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Congratulations, Bill, and thank you for consistently living out RISCIT (Respect, Integrity, Safety, Care for Assets, Improvement, and Teamwork) in everything you do!

      <title>Project Highlight: Multi-Agency Center Renovation</title>
      <link>https://www.centralconsolidated.net/project-highlight-multi-agency-center-renovation</link>
      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Central Consolidated is proud to support the renovation of the Multi-Agency Center.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Multi-Agency Center is a homeless shelter located at 1025 N. Main. Working alongside McCownGordon Construction, our Team has been replacing outdated mechanical systems and upgrading the facility’s infrastructure—all while the building remains occupied.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The project includes the removal of two existing boilers and associated pumps, replaced with new high-efficiency boilers, a chiller, pumps, and all necessary hydronic specialties. We also installed new flue and combustion air systems, a unit heater, and rerouted gas piping from the mechanical room to the roof to serve new shower areas.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Inside the living spaces, upgrades include: 13 men’s showers, 6 women’s showers, new restrooms (14 toilets, 8 urinals, 21 lavatories), a laundry area, and redistributed air systems to improve comfort throughout. Central's Service Division has also supported several change orders, from fan coil unit inspections and filter replacements to additional repairs beyond the original scope.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A huge thank you to Chris Larsen, Chase Moses, Joe Landry, and their crews for their dedication and craftsmanship. Their teamwork and attention to detail continue to make this project a success.

           We’re excited to highlight Tyler Drinnen as Central Consolidated’s featured employee this month!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Tyler Drinnen joined Central Consolidated in April 2025 as a Mechanical Service Account Manager.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Tyler’s journey in the trades started early. At just 12 years old, he spent his summers and school breaks helping his grandpa Rick at American Mechanical, sweeping floors and organizing fittings. When he turned 18, he officially entered the mechanical trade and spent the next 12 years as a service technician before moving into the office to take on his current role at Central.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Outside of work, Tyler enjoys playing golf (though he admits he’s still perfecting his swing). Around the office, his coworkers describe him as: "Dependable, hardworking, and always willing to lend a hand. Even on short notice, Tyler consistently goes above and beyond expectations and is an outstanding member of our team."
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           We thank Tyler for his dedication and commitment to helping Central deliver smart solutions. We are so grateful to have him as part of the team!

           Ella Nash - Accounting Clerk - AR Team
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           We’re excited to highlight Ella Nash as Central Consolidated’s featured employee this month!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Ella joined Central Consolidated in April 2023 as part of our AR team. Before coming to Central, she built a wide range of experience in different industries. Some of her favorite roles include working in the Payroll and HR department at Mobile Addiction LLC for five years, serving as a Personal Banker at Heartland Credit Union for three years, and managing Express for two years (a role she especially loved because of the clothes). Outside of work, Ella enjoys playing video games and writing, especially in the spooky and mystery genres. Although she admits she’s too shy to share her writing publicly, she loves getting lost in the process. One of her favorite quotes is from Queen Elizabeth II: “It’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           What Ella's colleagues say about her: "She is the most pleasant person and genuinely cares about everyone she encounters. She talks to each person that comes to get coffee or passes by on their way to the shop. She is helpful and always has a positive attitude."
          &#xD;

Wade moved to Wichita in 2011, and joined Central Consolidated in August of 2016 where he has continued to advance in his career. In January of 2017, he was promoted to Service Manager for our Fire Protection Division and currently holds the position of Fire Protection Division Manager.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           "It is with tremendous pride and respect that I am reaching out to you and the rest of the amazing Central Consolidated Team to say that you all have once again come through for me in my time of need. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           After finding myself in quite an unfortunate situation with another vendor and expectations on my team increasing on an urgent repair, I reached out to the man, the myth, the Legend, Wade Gilbertson in the hopes that he would be able to provide the necessary and critical support needed to overcome the challenge. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Not only did he offer his immediate and unwavering support, offered up the services of the Central Fab Shop, cleared a path for urgent attention AND delivery of the materials once ready, he personally delivered the necessary fittings not once, but TWICE after we learned that our situation unexpectedly changed and further attention/hardware was required to finish the job. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           In addition, it was serendipitous that the Central team was onsite during this period working with another vendor to Pfizer, and just happened to have 2 technicians coming to the site to address concerns for the other vendor. As soon as they fulfilled their obligations to the other vendor, they immediately came over to assess the situation and identify how they could be most effective/helpful. Those 2 technicians are a perfect example of what I believe Central Consolidated offers, and I want to go on record as saying that they are exceptional and talented individuals that I am eternally grateful for, as well. Their professionalism, positive attitudes, and safety-minded perspectives go a very long ways in our environment, and should be recognized some way. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           I’ve seen somewhere a few times on updates I follow on social media, probably LinkedIn, a reference to Central’s “Technician Of The Month”, and I can’t possibly think of 2 more deserving colleagues representing Central Consolidated.  I’ve attached a photo they were both kind enough to be seen in with me for reference &amp;#55357;&amp;#56842;
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Please ensure that all of these individuals are appreciated in some way as they have absolutely, unequivocally reminded me of one of the most effective partnerships I’ve had in my life and career. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           I am in awe of this level of support and I have dearly missed it since our last opportunity to work together. Wade and I have reaffirmed our commitment to moving forward together and I will be providing the necessary information next week for Central Consolidated to take over Fire Protection services for JLL at Pfizer. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
