Termi- nal Manager Brian Spiller received several other ideas from the team and reviewed them with the Customer at the location. The logo was then fine- tuned and presented back to the manager for final approval. "Both myself and our Customer representative felt that the logo picked really displayed the history of Philadelphia," said Spiller. The team looks forward to a long lasting relationship with Philadelphia Energy Solutions and looks forward to celebrating many more years injury- free.

Watco's Test Team

When Mick McGinniss and Neil Wandel boarded the plane from Perth to the US they had a special gift in tow. The two Australians brought along a cricket bat and ball to present to Watco CEO Rick Webb. McGinniss is a grower in Western Australia and Wandel is a grower and a director of CBH Group, who Watco has partnered with to deliver grain to the ports. McGinniss explained the reasoning behind the gift because most Americans wouldn’t get the meaning of the wording on the bat. The inscription says, " To the Watco 'Test' Team. For customer service to Cooperative Bulk Handling rail and to appreciative West Australian grain growers. October 2014." He added, “A 'test' team is one that is known for its ability to strate- gize and plan for the long haul. In Australia, a test cricket match often lasts up to five days. That’s where the Watco Team that serves the growers in WA is similar to the test cricket teams, they battle at their best all of the time and don’t let distractions stop them from achieving their goals over the long haul."
