The award was first developed in 2021 to commemorate the company's centennial celebration and employees participated in the nomination and voting process.
"Quintin is an example of some of the very best of Colonial," said Demere. I'm grateful for his dedication to his work and the unwavering support he provides his colleagues. We are fortunate to have him as part of the Colonial family, and this award is well-deserved."
Felton, a five-year veteran of Colonial, began his career as an Operator I in 2020 and quickly advanced to his current role as Operations Supervisor. His colleagues nominated him for this esteemed recognition, emphasizing his exceptional character and unwavering dedication to his team.
Colonial's more than 2,200 employees had the opportunity last fall to select one of their own who, throughout their career at Colonial, has exemplified service, integrity, entrepreneurship, and family. The guiding principle of this award is that "there is no limit to what a person can achieve if they don't mind who gets the credit".
