William is a reliable, efficient and skilled worker who’s
catch phrase was “No problem”. I quickly learned that
he lived by that phrase, as he was ready, willing and
able to handle any task assigned to him in our busy Art
Department. I was very disappointed when he chose to
relocate, necessitating his departure from our City and
our company.”
John Roy
Manager at Sir Speedy
I have worked with William on a couple of occasions and he
has proven to be knowledgable operator and a great co-worker.
Always ready to lend a hand and pick up where needed. Bill
showed his abilities not only to learn but to pass it on in a way
that benefitted the whole team.”
Jim Conrad
Former color specialist and prepress operator
