UG2 in Action

Gratitude for the UG2 Family

By John F. Correia

A Message From John Correia, Chief Operating Officer

Looking back on the last decade, I was struck by a new awareness that uncertainty is a constant in our lives.

Human beings are creatures of habit, and the shifting world around us is therefore no doubt unsettling. But I am also acutely aware of another constant, one that both grounds and elevates us, and that is our connection and commitment to one another.

It is no coincidence or mere stroke of luck that, time and again, UG2 has emerged stronger from the challenges we have encountered. That dynamic is a testament to the people who make up our UG2 family. It is very much a credit to you.

Even though I might not see you often, I want to acknowledge that so much of what you do day-to-day goes unheralded. Your extraordinary support for one another, your ability to push through difficult times, your creativity when it comes to confronting a problem and your ability to respond to moments of difficulty with humor and grace — those are the constants you bring to our customers and our community, regardless of whether anyone is watching.

You follow through on your commitments to this company and to one another in countless quiet ways. But I want you to know that you are seen, and that your many contributions, large and small, make me honored and proud to have you as part of the UG2 family.

It is an ever-changing world, and we wake up to new challenges every day. I am, more than ever, deeply aware of all you bring to our relationship, and I want to express my profound gratitude.

Above all, I want to express, again, that the commitment is mutual. When the leadership at UG2 says that family comes first, we are talking about more than the families we are each blessed to share our home lives with. We are talking about you, and we have never been more devoted to you than we are today.

Please know that in a changing world, one thing that remains true is my deep appreciation for you. I wish you and those that you hold dear a Thanksgiving filled with food, friendship, and time with the people who make your lives full.
