Bill Niblock hired me for a position of Market Specialist at the Filtration Systems Division of the Duriron Company (Durco) in the late Summer of 1991. During the course of my tenure at Durco, I was impressed by his professionalism, attention to detail, organizational skills and demeanor and impartiality in assessing prospective clients and projects as well as resolving issues typical of capital equipment sales, installations and servicing. Upon assuming the role of Regional Sales Manager for the Latin American markets, I called upon and received the support of Bill in presentations to endusers, engineering firms and consultants for a significant project(s) in secondary oil recovery application(s) in Venezuela, wherein the tender and consideration of pressure leaf filtration technology for said project was a re-introduction of said technology after its multiple-decade absence from said application, owing to the relative complexity of the sequential operational parameters - notably the actuation of valves - in comparison to then contemporary sand filtration technologies. In light of Bill's knowledge and experience in filtration technologies and his professionlism in presenting himself, his employer and the technologies of consideration, I asked Bill to join me and our local representative in making sales calls and presentations to the decision-makers and their associates at all phases of concern - purchasing, engineering and operations. This visit would take Bill away from his duties and time pursuing his group's projects. Bill agreed to assist me pending approval of the vice-president of the division. Neither I nor our representative, for whom up to that time Bill had been unknown, was disappointed. I recall a courtesy presentation of pressure leaf filtration technologies for a professor and his students of a university in Caracas that Bill made immediately prior to the conclusion of our week-long travel. Upon concluding, the professor commented that the presentation was given in a very thorough and understandable manner; furthemore, he stated that Bill would make a fine professor as well. The professor was truly impressed with Bill. I hold Bill in the highest regard for the aforementioned reasons and I believe him to be an asset to any organization that values the qualities as personified by Bill. Note: With respect to my title at the time of my relationship with Bill, the appropriate title is included above whereas that as formally associated with this recommendation was of later employment that could not be changed prior to submitting this recommendation.
