Includes Elimination of Chief Operating Officer Position
CALGARY,
July 25, 2013 /CNW/ - Ridgeline
Energy Services Inc. ("Ridgeline" or the "Company") (TSXV: RLE)
(OTCQX: RGDEF) (FSE: RL7) a water treatment and energy
technology company, today announces management changes effective
today.
Ridgeline today announces the elimination of the position of
Chief Operating Officer, which was held by Richard Winterich. With the substantial
reduction of employees and operating complexities that resulted
from the sale of Ridgeline Environmental and Ridgeline GreenFill
the company has taken steps to further reduce administrative
management and streamline operations.
Dennis M. Danzik, Chief Executive
Officer of Ridgeline Energy Services, stated, "As a Company, we
wish to thank Richard Winterich for
great service, sound management counsel, and leading the
development of our manufacturing efforts in Arizona. All of the dedicated work that
Richard performed while at Ridgeline was through a time of historic
revenue growth and expanded operations across the United States."
In addition, the Company announces the implementation of a
business manager form of operational management for its Santa Fe
Springs and Carthage Missouri
operations.
Joseph Murray has been named
Business Manager for the Santa Fe Springs facility. Mr. Murray was
formerly the Operations Manager at the facility and will now have
full profit and loss responsibility for the Company's Santa Fe
Springs facility. Mr. Murray has been with the Company for nearly 2
years.
Candy Blazar has been named
Business Manager for the Carthage
Missouri facility. Ms. Blazar formerly held the position of
Controller. Ms. Blazar will now have full profit and loss
responsibility for the Company's Carthage facility. She has been with the
Company since October of 2012, and has acted as a senior manager of
the facility since January of this year.
John Shaw has been named Manager
of Refinery Operations in Carthage. Mr. Shaw previously held a variety
of positions with the company including operations manager. He has
been employed at the Carthage
facility for 11 years.
James Saxton has been named
Manager of Refinery Operations for the Santa Fe Springs facility.
Mr. Saxton was previously an operations manager for the
Philadelphia research and
development site, and has been with the Company for 13 years. Mr.
Saxton also provides technical counsel to all of our refinery
development and manufacturing efforts at or Scottsdale manufacturing facilities.
Mr. Danzik continued, "Our concentration on water has allowed us
to focus and streamline our core business, which includes a move to
a strong Business Manager form of operational control, thereby
reducing administrative management layers. As we developed our
Santa Fe Springs and Carthage
assets, we identified our strongest managers over the last year and
have now put in place a business structure that requires no
additional management layers between the operational management of
the facility and our "C" level executive management, which includes
Kevin Bridges, our CFO and myself.
It is important to recognize the fact that selling our consulting
businesses in Canada was only a
part of the plan moving forward. We have implemented a lean and
cost effective administrative structure that places accountability
for individual operations at the facility level, thereby allowing
us to identify and achieve specific metrics that work and can be
replicated across the organization. "
"I congratulate our teams in both Santa Fe Springs and
Carthage on a job well done for
the first half of this year."
