Employee Owner of the Year

“Wes goes above and beyond to represent Wright Tree Service and Wright Service Corp. He creates top of the line conference booths and team meetings. He has dedicated his life to growing our companies and making the best safety department in the utility line clearance industry.”

“Wes has an unwavering commitment to WTS/WSC and works tirelessly to grow our company. He is an excellent leader.”

“Wes has a compassionate manager’s mindset with emphasis on keeping a team environment.”

“Nate shows ownership through his willingness to develop himself and others. He is frequently willing to try new things in an attempt to improve his division and the organization as a whole. I hear his name come up among various teams at WSC when people are looking for a trusted leader to assist with or champion changes. He is also trusted and respected by his team members. I had the opportunity to ride along with one of his GFs who expressed his opinion of Nate by saying ‘If you can’t get along with Nate, that’s a you problem.’” Nate’s nominator continued to add, “Nate’s division was the top contributing group to the WTS employee recognition program, which is reflective of his leadership. His team members shared kind words and encouragement for others in and outside of their division. This shows that his appreciative attitude is having an exponential impact.”

“Sarah’s passion for the success of WSC is astonishing and what drives Sarah to provide quality work. She is always willing to drop what she is doing to provide help or training to anyone that needs it. Sarah is a reliable and trustworthy person and is all about taking the initiative to make sure the job gets done the Wright way. It has been such a pleasure to see her professional growth throughout her time at WSC. She really has been a crucial part of the Field Data Solution Project and of course, the payroll team, and her commitment to her role has been exceptional. She is a true inspiration. Her passion for wanting things done right raises her above most. Sarah doesn’t just go through the motions of executing a process, she learns what she is doing, why she is doing it in a certain manner, and the cause and effect of what she is doing. This allows her to fully understand the total concept and consequences of her actions which, in turn, allows her to look for ways to improve the activity. I have worked directly with Sarah at making tasks less manual and more time efficient and her insight is invaluable. Again, her PASSION is a key element in enabling Sarah to excel and be admired by many as an expert in her field. Yet, she is humble enough to inquire and research when she hasn’t mastered a concept and is always hungry to learn more, gain additional insight, and collaborate in achieving the highest possible level of proficiency.”

“Mr. Reyes is always going above and beyond for WTS,” his nominator wrote. “He is always looking out for his employees and making sure they get the proper training available… I have never seen so much dedication for a company. He is always looking for the best solutions for his brothers and sisters. He truly comes to work every day with a smile and the willingness to do what is best for WTS, always representing the company and it values.”

“I have never met someone so passionate about their career, who they work for, and who they work with. Every day, Ken is spreading excitement to everyone around him, all the way down to the newest employee,” Ken’s nominator wrote.

“I have found few individuals that surpass Alison in their dedication and leadership qualities. Alison arrives at work with a positive attitude, a big smile, and, much of the time, a very loud and contagious laugh. Getting the job done and done right is a very high priority for Alison. Wright is very lucky to have somebody like Alison as an employee,” Alison’s nominator wrote.
