With his extensive experience in the managed service uniform apparel industry and the many relationships he has fostered over the years with major corporations in the US, we believe he will make significant contributions to UGL’s focused expansion into this market and further drive the revenue and profitability of the company. He is exactly the type of leadership we need as we expand further into the US and accelerate our growth trajectory in building a world-class organization.”
