​
"Prior to finding Westward, our Company was wrestling with a number of important issues including how to effectively grow a capital intensive business, how to transition ownership to management, and a limitation in resources. Even before the transaction had closed we created a specific plan to address each of these challenges so we could return to focusing on the business and our customers."
