“Becoming WBENC-Certified WBE was a goal that [co-owner and vp of human resources] Bonnie Radjenovich and I set to achieve a couple of years ago, to foster continued growth for our company, said Brenda Jennissen, co-owner, CEO, and president of Felling Trailers. “In recent years, we have been asked if Felling Trailers, Inc. held this certification, as it is a piece that many of our business partners looking to diversify their supply chains are guided by.”
Jennissen added, “It is truly satisfying seeing the certification process come to completion knowing that this is another door of opportunity for the continued growth of our family business.”
