I just wanted to send your team a response on our appreciation of the service you have provided for us.

It is our responsibility here at Kelsey Trail Trucking Ltd. for ensuring that our workers complete training and testing, to meet the performance criteria set out for certain standards before a worker is assigned tasks as a forklift operator. We are very grateful for the professional courteous service you have provided for us by making this happen and making sure our needs were complete.

You have taught corrective actions to our workers to avoid future incidents and accidents. This really helps us align our learning solutions and education based on the needs of our workplace.

Once again a thank you goes out to Jane and your team for taking the extra time and going the extra mile to always providing thorough professional service.
