Brent Tarnowski
Lawson did an excellent job of making the process of a major supplier changeover as efficient and pleasant as possible. What can normally be a long, drawn out process was made painless by having Lawson as the point person throughout the integration of AGI as our supplier partner of MRO product. He was highly personable, professional and always quick to source the answers we needed to move forward.
