Join us in recognizing these five special women from our Piney Flats manufacturing facility.

Beverley is a new addition to KPS Global, having only been with us for nine months, but her supervisor has only good things to say about her; “Beverley is very prompt, approachable, and consistent in her work. She learns quickly and is willing to do whatever the job calls for.”
Beverley has been learning to read blueprints in her time here and loves that everyone at KPS Global is kind. With so much new information to learn, she knows absorbing as much as possible is the best action to take to be successful.
