This month marks one year of Laura Jozwiak working with Southgate Lease Services as a Strategic Advisor, and we want to take a moment to recognize what she's brought to our team. Her 30 years of fleet management experience with deep expertise and personal approach was the perfect fit for our culture at Southgate and what we are building for the future. Our paths have crossed for many years and having her work this closely with us has been a real privilege. At Southgate, we serve companies nationwide running 10 to 150 vehicle fleets. We focus on exceptional service and real relationships with every client so we can provide guidance as trusted advisors. As a family-owned company, we don't have corporate layers to work through, so we can build programs around what each client actually needs. Laura understands that approach, and her perspective has been invaluable as we grow. We're grateful to have you in our corner, and we always look forward to your bright smile when you come to see us. Thank you, Laura! #FleetManagement #FleetLeasing #FamilyBusiness #Leadership
