That balance is also reflected in the company’s staff,
with many long-term employees and many younger staff
learning and benefitting from the available mentoring. “We
recognize that with retirement there is a great potential
for loss of knowledge so we balance that with younger,
skilled people ready to learn from and take advantage of
that knowledge.”
