Senior Management's Perspective:
Don Esposito
Senior
Director of Purchasing, Construction
and Maintenance
Chicago White Sox
"I
recommended JSR Enterprises not only because of their
outstanding performance during the 2007 season, but also because of
their overall growth and development. JSR has
come a long way in terms of expanding their operation and status within
the Chicago contracting community. They started out as a small
company, but JSR is now a full-service operation; and it’s
been great seeing new opportunities come their way. They can do things for us
now that
they were unable to do in the past, both in terms of manpower and
equipment. It's worth noting that JSR is now an approved
vendor to both the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago. Their
approved status means JSR will have more opportunities to grow and become
even stronger, which will only benefit the White Sox in the long
run. It's always a challenge, and a test, awarding contracts -
especially to smaller firms. But when I see a small,
minority-owned firm like JSR, with lots of potential, I am willing to help them. It’s something we do here at the White
Sox. We won’t let a supplier just hang out there on their own.
The continuing success of JSR proves that we have a sound
approach to working with diverse suppliers."

Perspective:
Michael Spidale
Purchasing Director
Chicago White Sox
"The
White Sox are committed to providing opportunities for diverse
suppliers to help us succeed in providing our fans with an exciting
team and an excellent ball park experience. We are proud of our
unparallel history within the League of providing opportunities for
diverse suppliers to support us in some of the most critical areas
of our operations. From printed materials to promotional items to
the upkeep of our stadium and the maintenance of our players’
uniforms, diverse suppliers have and continue to make extraordinary
contributions to our success. I am delighted to once again
acknowledge JSR Enterprises as one of America’s Best Diverse
Suppliers®. JSR continues to provide us with
extraordinary service. Our fans would notice the difference if they
were anything other than a top performing business partner. We are
delighted to recommend JSR Enterprises to our Baseball family
and to any organization seeking expert plumbing services.”
