| | Team Day Out: Kristine Visits, Clients Impress, and Crown Candy Delivers | | | | |
In October, we had the pleasure of welcoming Kristine back to town for a company outing and we made the most of it. With the full team together, we set out for a day filled with client visits, local flavor, and a few friendly rounds of putt-putt golf.
First, Kristine, Christi, Leslie, and Charles toured Eagle Marine Fabrication, a family-owned business with a century of craftsmanship behind it. Seeing their process of building barges by hand was both impressive and inspiring — a true testament to generational expertise and pride in work.
| | Next up was Speedway Salvage, one of the largest salvage yards in the St. Louis Metro East. We got an inside look at how vehicles are dismantled, and how usable parts are sorted and sold across multiple channels. It was a fascinating deep dive into a complex and highly efficient operation. | |
After our client visits, we crossed the river for lunch at Crown Candy in St. Louis — one of Charles’ all-time favorite spots. Between the sandwiches and the legendary malts, it did not disappoint.
To wrap up the day, the team hit the mini-golf course at Puttshack for a round of lighthearted competition and laughter. It’s always a treat to have everyone together, away from the office, enjoying the camaraderie that makes our team so strong.
We’re grateful for the time together and for the incredible businesses we get to serve. Here’s to more great moments, both in and out of the office.
