To Whom I t May Concern:
This letter is written with respect to James Lord.
Mr. Lord was employed by Best Flow Line Equipment, L.P. (f/k/a Best Swivel Joints) for 23
years in a variety o f capacities. Most recently, Mr. Lord worked in our engineering department,
but worked originally as a CNC machinist and in between worked in plant maintenance as well
as in our quality department. As a result, he has widespread experience and expertise in many
areas o f manufacturing. Mr. Lord performed well in all these areas, resulting in his continued
employment by us for all those years. He was a trustworthy and loyal employee who took his
job responsibilities seriously and did a very good job. Unfortunately, our company has been
impacted severely by the recent collapse o f oil prices, so that we recently had to terminate his
employment with us.
In summary, I would highly recommend Mr. Lord for employment in any manufacturing
environment, but most particularly, in the manufacturing o f oilfield products where his
experience would be o f the most value.
Sincerely,
.i/1L-
l t,
~g&,'on, President
