President -

Recently Manatts completed a highway concrete paving job here in the northeast corner of Lee County, Iowa.

The purpose of this letter is to congratulate you on the performance of the Manatts employees. Without exception, all of them were polite, attentive, competent and carried out what they agreed to do.

Selection and training are important to employee attitude and performance, but equally important is leadership. Thus the reason to congratulate you on the performance of this crew!

Dear Mike Manatt,

My name is Mike Reed. I live near the small town of Owasa just off the Hwy 20 project your company just finished. About 3 years ago, a tall lanky dark haired man in a red Tahoe stopped at my farm looking for a place to park a few dump trucks. That was the first time I met anyone from your company.

I want you to know it was a pleasure from that point on.

I can’t believe that all the people I met were courteous, accommodating, and just plain damn nice folks. For a company as large as yours that says a lot. I take my hat off to you and all of the men I met.

There is not a scar on my farmstead from the dump trucks, concrete haulers, cement tankers, flowboys, trucks and pups, service trucks, water trucks, and anything else that said Manatts on it. I can’t thank them all by name but there are two I want to mention, John Beaderstadt and James Weiermann. These guys made it happen.

Thank you Manatts,
Michael D. Reed
