Q3 Employees of the Quarter

Congrats to Employees of the Quarter: Kip & Serafin!

As the weather starts to cool off, we would like to extend huge congratulations to our employees of Q3, Kip Lacy and Serafin Rodriguez! Their outstanding work and achievements are what make Storage Solutions such a great company!

Kip Lacy, Installation Project Manager

Kip joined SSI in January of 2017 as the newest member of our WSI installation team. As one of the leaders of the WSI team, Kip has proven to be an invaluable member of Storage Solutions. Kip has proven time and time again that he is willing to go above and beyond to make sure projects go off without a hitch.

In his downtime, Kip likes to spend time with his wife, two daughters, and his Boston Terrier, Frenchie. You can also find Kip outdoors, traveling or eating Indian food. Even though he sports his Michigan Wolverines hat, he says that he is open to supporting any college team.

Serafin Rodriguez, WSI Crew Leader

Our other employee of the quarter also comes from the WSI team. Serafin Rodriguez is a Crew Leader that has been with SSI since 2012. Serafin stepped up when we needed him most, and we couldn’t be more proud. When asked to become a new crew leader in August, Serafin jumped on the opportunity and has flourished in his new role. As a Crew Leader, Serafin demonstrates on a daily basis why he is such a strong leader and a great employee.

While he’s not at work, Serafin says that he likes to relax and spend some quality time with his family.

Above all, Storage Solutions loves to recognize our employees for their determination, so thank you to Kip and Serafin for their outstanding work!

IFDA Conference 2017: That’s a Wrap!

IFDA

IFDA has come and gone and after a great conference, we can confidently say that we are bringing back invaluable information about the industry. After our few days in Maryland, we are excited to use our new resources to help you!

We learned a great deal of information about the industry’s best practices and how to incorporate them into our business. In addition, the show was a great networking opportunity. Meeting many other people in the industry all over the country gave us the opportunity to learn from their experiences, and implement them in our day-to-day operations. It’s been another terrific trade show and we can’t wait for next year!

Furthermore, Aaron Resiak, one of our attendees, spoke highly of his experience. “IFDA was a great opportunity to learn more about the challenges and hurdles put on the foodservice distribution industry.  Experience from working with previous clients allowed us to share our insights and grow our understanding of the various solutions.  No doubt, we look forward to continuing our support within the foodservice market and appreciate the opportunity to grow our footprint in this valuable industry.”

With the end of IFDA, also comes the end of our 2017 trade show itinerary. Our 2018 upcoming trade shows schedule will be coming soon! Keep an eye out for the updated 2018 trade show list.
