Rubb is in an excellent position to deliver solutions to our customers. My focus will be on collaboration between all the good people in our company and on what is important for the customer, with a combined effort throughout the group.
“I want to learn about the people, processes and values. This is a hard working group of people who are very knowledgable in each of their fields. This is a very good starting point. I am looking forward to the challenges ahead. We are in a good position; everyone talks about Rubb and knows who we are. We have the people, facilities and the quality to succeed and meet our targets.”
