COOKEVILLE – J&S Construction Company, Inc. recently hosted its annual Employee Celebration to commend all employees for their hard work and dedication throughout 2017.
The event included service awards, fun and games with various prizes, as well as the announcement of the company’s most coveted honor, the Founder’s Diamond Award.
Larry Fuell, an assistant field manager who has been employed with J&S Construction since January 1999, was honored by the J&S Construction management team in front of fellow co-workers. Larry and his wife, Connie, will be treated to an all-expense paid trip to Cancun, Mexico, with additional spending cash provided as well as one week of paid vacation.
The Founder’s Diamond Award was established in 2004 in honor of J&S Construction Founder, John D. Stites Sr. Nominees of this award must exhibit the following characteristics in the workplace: thinker, learner, honest, humorous, humble and unselfish.
The award is tallied from votes which are collected from all field and office employees. A few comments the voters provided about Larry:
- When I was going through a difficult time, he would call or text me every week to make sure I was ok. He even offered to help me pay the bills.
- When I was going through a difficult time, he would call or text me every week to make sure I was ok. He even offered to help me pay the bills.
