Lindsay Gonzalez
Working with Reginald (Reg) Tucker has been an absolute pleasure. Not only is he a phenomenal managing editor, but he is also a wonderful mentor. His knowledge of the flooring industry and his experiences as a journalist are invaluable to his entire team at FCNews. Reg’s attention to detail and positive demeanor allow him to thrive in the most stressful of situations. He is organized, hardworking and a true team player.

I had the pleasure of working with Reg during his time at Elsevier. He is a true Publishing professional and totally unflappable. He had a number of difficult situations thrown at him and never complained, just got on with the job in hand and was always supportive. In fact, several tricky publications were given to Reg to manage because of his experience and positive attitude. I work recommend Reg as an asset to any organisation.
