A MESSAGE FROM THOMAS H. MACKIE
As we approach the end of 2014, we are now more than 7 months
into the 2014/2015 trading year, and what a year it has been! Not
only have sales grown, but we have grown our footprint as well.
Since March, we have opened 10 new locations in North America,
and added more than 125 new employees to the CES / TES family.
This September we held our first North American Managers Conference, highlights of
which you will see featured in this edition of The Wire, bringing more than 700 members
of our senior management team into Dallas. The weekend proved a tremendous success
as we launched several new company wide initiatives, enjoyed time socializing with peers
from around North America and held our largest ever counter day.
Happy New Year! Thank you to everyone that has made 2014 a year to remember!
