Ryder System, a provider of transportation and supply chain management solutions, recently announced it has inducted two employees into its Rental Master organization. The Miami-based company also honored the 2006 national winners of its sales awards.
Rental Masters
Founded in 1979, Rental Master recognizes outstanding achievement in rental performance and management.
This year’s Rental Masters are Andrew A. Nichols, rental account manager for the company’s Houston region; and Raymond G. Viers, rental account manager for the Cincinnati region. “I am honored to have these dedicated employees as part of our organization and congratulate them for their stellar achievements,” says Greg Swienton, Ryder’s chairman and chief executive officer.
Rental Master also awards annual scholarships to assist the continuing education of outstanding employees; the scholarships are funded by the personal contributions of Rental Master members and matched by Ryder. This year’s first-place Rental Master Scholarship of $4,600 was awarded to Raqia Herbert of Orlando, Fla. Also, a $2,825 scholarship was awarded to Debbie Frazier of Alpharetta, Ga., and a $1,825 scholarship was awarded to Girish Vengurlekar of Ann Arbor, Mich.
Top salespersons
Founded in 1995, the Sales Excellence award recognizes those salespersons who have helped to drive profitable growth for Ryder by reaching demanding sales targets for the year and achieving high marks for customer satisfaction. The seven honorees were recognized at a recent ceremony near Ryder’s global headquarters in Miami.
