Ferguson celebrates the hard work of tradeswomen like Erin M., an Illinois Operating Engineer. Erin realized that being stubborn isn’t a bad thing—it’s actually the key to her success. By pushing beyond what she thought she could handle, Erin turned her lifelong interest into a successful career. She advises others to “Jump in!!! It is intimidating at times, yes, but you will never know your full potential unless you are all in on your future and yourself!” We’re committed to closing the skilled trades gap and building a more sustainable workforce. Read Erin’s story and find resources for Women in the Trades at http://spr.ly/6044gF9Xo.

We’re celebrating another year of business and extending our appreciation to the customers and associates for helping us continue to grow.
