Today marks the 45th anniversary of The Lake Doctors. Since our humble beginnings in 1979, The Lake Doctors has evolved into a leading force in water management, setting new standards of innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. Our journey has been one of constant evolution, fueled by a relentless pursuit of stewardship, trust, excellence, accountability, dedication, and integrity.
As we celebrate this significant milestone, it is important to acknowledge the countless individuals who have been instrumental in shaping the identity and success of The Lake Doctors. From our visionary founder, Jim Williams, to our dedicated managers, employees, loyal customers, and supportive partners - each one of you has played a crucial role in our journey. On behalf of the entire leadership team, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for your hard work, dedication, and unwavering support. Our success would not have been possible without your talent, passion, and commitment to our values.
While 45 years can seem like a long time, for the Company we are building it is really still Day 1. While we celebrate our success, we never deviate from our commitment to continuous improvement. Every opportunity to change for the better is being looked at – from services, equipment, and locations to schedules, compensation, and software. We are fanatical about making TLD a better vendor for our customers and a better Company for our team members. I am filled with optimism and excitement for what lies ahead.
I said this after my first year hear, and I will reiterate it here: The Lake Doctors is committed to being the best organization in the pond and lake management space. We are experienced, able to leverage our 45 years in business to provide a wide variety of solutions while promoting healthy practices for the environment. We are decentralized, able to make decisions quickly without the bureaucracy of a corporate boardroom. We are committed for the long term, able to avoid the turnover and financial gymnastics of a PE portfolio company. We are American, and damn proud. We are The Lake Doctors!
