Includes Elimination of Chief Operating Officer Position
CALGARY, July 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - 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."
