Employee Spotlight: Jim Beach

We recently celebrated the work anniversary of Jim Beach, who joined our company 45 years ago on March 31, 1976! Jim has been a longstanding and valuable member of the Paris team, and has made such an impact here. Our younger employees have flourished under his lead. He has shown them the meaning of great leadership, teamwork and patience, which they have used to become great employees themselves. 

Congratulations Jim, and thank you for all you do to make Paris better!
