We are so thankful this year and excitedly looking forward to Thanksgiving!

Since it has become an annual tradition around here, all the Townsend Partners took a moment out of their day – to list out a couple of the things they are Thankful for.

 

This has been a truly amazing year at Townsend and one that has produced lots of thankful moments for all of us.

Talking with a few folks about thankful things, and some of the more significant moments throughout this year of many of our partners: losing loved ones, car crashes, dealing with sickness and disease, marriages, babies, new houses… (so much happens in a year!), it is humbling and nearly overwhelming to think of all the moments, things, and people to be thankful for.

Below of a listing of some of the things Townsend Partners are thankful for.  This is just a small sampling, the list could go on and on forever.

Speaking on behalf of everyone at Townsend, we are thankful for a successful year, having such a great place to come every day, and such a great team to work with.

Speaking personally, it is easy to see why this “thankful list” is so long and gets filled up so quickly.  The people here at Townsend are truly impressive folks.  Each one with their own passions and unique takes on life, but coming together each day to create something that is even greater than the sum of its great parts.

So without further ado, please take a moment to see some of the things Townsend Partners are thankful for in 2014.  The list is long, but funny and meaningful, so I think it will be time well spent.  If you have something you are thankful for, join in our conversation on Facebook.  Facebook/TownsendLeatherCompany

This is not a marketing ploy, or a sales pitch – but there is no other way to say it, other than to say it – when it all comes down to it, the one thing Townsend Leather is most thankful for is YOU our Townsend Leather Customers, Partners, and Fans.

It is true.

Townsend loves working for our customers, we love creating new things, we love working hard getting our hands dirty, we love saving problems, being challenged, seeing smiles, hearing exclaims of delight, and getting customers just what they want.  Townsend has been recognized twice this year as being a truly great place to work.  Both of these awards were given because our people said they love it here.  You can’t really love a place, unless you love what they stand for, what they do, and who they do it for.  Luckily we work with some of the greatest reps and customers in the world, who are doing luxurious, incredible, beautiful things.  Customers that make positive change in the world and make everything look better while doing it.  Customers that love design and leather as much as we do.

So to you dear customers Partners, we sincerely THANK YOU.  Please keep making the world a lovely-ier, leathery-er, even-better-designed place and we will gladly support you along the way – with a smile on our face and solutions in our pocket.

 

This has been one hell of a year.  Customers, Vendors, Reps, Fans, Partners…Thanks for being a part of it.
