1st to receive Hero of "Project Turnaround"

When Corrugated Container Corp was bought out by DS Smith, there was an initiative program called "Project Turnaround". Which basically is what it sounds like, Given to the employees that impacted their site in the most significant ways. It was company wide and I was the first and only production employee to receive it. The rest were managers and sales ect.
