Please accept this as a letter of recommendation for Mr. David Pakulski whom I have known for several years after working together at Diamond Electric Manufacturing Corporation when the company’s headquarters was located in Dundee, Michigan. As Director of Purchasing for Diamond Electric, Mr. Pakulski was extremely efficient in helping to reduce costs, find excellent suppliers and fulfill all of the requirements the company needed in that position. Mr. Pakulski is a team player and a team leader. During his tenure with Diamond he also was the Plant Manager in Dundee. His leadership skills are excellent. In my opinion, Dave’s personable and friendly personality would make him an outstanding candidate for any manufacturing company that needs a knowledgeable, hard-working individual who learns quickly and responds quickly to corporate needs. I consider Dave a good friend, and I would be happy to discuss his qualifications. Please contact me at jdavidbagnall@yahoo.com or feel free to call me at 734-735-2327.
