January 20, 2023

Wright announced the winners of its service and achievement awards. The service and achievement awards are designed to reward and recognize those employees for their years of service.

Every year, Wright commemorates the employees for their years of service on Nov. 30. This date holds a special place in Wright’s heart, as it was the start date of Pat Taylor, Wright’s former executive vice president. Taylor, who had a 56-year career and retired in 2019, passed away on Nov. 14, 2021.

This year’s service and achievement awards celebrated four years of awards due to COVID and highlighted 53 employees, including CEO Terry Taylor’s 50 years of service. Wright paid tribute to 22 employees celebrating five years of service, 17 employees celebrating 10 years of service, eight employees celebrating 15 years of service, three employees celebrating 20 years of service, two employees celebrating 35 years of service and one employee celebrating 50 years of service (Terry Taylor).
