I had the pleasure of working with Ken while he was a Divisional Safety Manager and I was in the field. Ken was not only accessible when needed, but listened to each incident with care and compassion. Ken’s expertise helped the field thoroughly investigate incidents and near misses. Ken’s experience, passion for Safety, and professionalism are an asset for any organization.

To Whom It May Concern: It gives me great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Kenneth Edwards. I have worked with Kenneth for approximately a year at Belk and though we manage different groups, we've worked together on several projects. Ken is a model leader who is well respected in the organization. His outstanding efforts have lead to major reduction in safety related incidents across our supply chain. His efforts have further resulted in major cost savings for the company. Ken manages the safety programs for several large buildings including our flagship nearly two million square foot direct to consumer fulfillment center. Ken is an asset to our company, he is an excellent professional and possesses knowledge well beyond his years. As a Training and Leadership professional, I am very impressed with not only Ken's IQ, but also his emotional intelligence. He's an absolute pleasure to work with and it is my pleasure to recommend Ken to any organization. Please feel free to reach out to me to further discuss Ken's qualifications.
