With 50 years in the foodservice industry, PMR brings plenty of experience to our customers. A large part of our success is thanks to our team. Without them, we wouldn't be where we are today.
To help showcase the talent we have at PMR, we're starting our PMR Preview series to introduce you to the faces behind the company. Our first spotlight is on our President, Mike Hensley.
One of our longest tenured team members, Mike is the backbone of the company and keeps us all full of energy and enthusiasm. We sat down with Mike to learn a little more about him, how he got started in the industry, and what's his favorite part of working at PMR.
