When Steve Gwinn completed his five-year tour of duty in the U.S. Army, he might have thought that his days of moving from place-to-place were over.
He would have thought wrong.
As foreman of the CEI portable display division, Steve has gotten very accustomed to moving. Steve, who is celebrating his twelfth anniversary with CEI, has seen the portables re-locate three times to different locations within Canal Fulton.
“We started at our former company headquarters on Canal Street, then to the new headquarters on Milan Street, then to Market Street and now at the Erie Street warehouse,” Steve said. “We’ve seen tremendous growth in recent years, and we’ve had to relocate just to keep-up with the space requirements.”
Steve’s knowledge of auto repairs, electrical and plumbing has served him well in his job. “It’s very important that every square inch of each display is inspected before it gets shipped to the show. If I find something that I can repair myself, I do it right there on the spot,” said Steve. “It gives me a sense of accomplishment to know that I can save the client a few dollars.”
“Staying with the same company for 12 years has given me the opportunity to see a lot of changes. I try to do what I can to support the change and move the company in a positive direction,” he said. “In the end, making sure the client comes first is what’s most important.”
Congratulations on your anniversary, Steve!
