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

at Unigraphic Inc.
