I also worked in Customer Service and Inventory Control. I moved into an operations/systems role after the program, and I was promoted to IT Manager in 2016.

What is your favorite memory at The Shippers Group?

Amy: My time at Shippers can’t be summed up in just one memory, however, I’ve most enjoyed starting up new buildings. It is amazing to see the progress from a piece of land to a fully functional operation and knowing that I was part of the team that worked together to make it happen.
