2010 Hall of Fame: Gary Garner - More Work, Less Talk

Garner has endured his share of economic slowdowns, but none can compare to the screeching halt experienced by many printers in the fall of 2008. GLS was forced to reconcile the lost work with its employee ranks, and about 25 percent was eliminated in three rounds of head count reductions. As much as it pained Garner to implement the cutbacks, he knew it was necessary to keep the company financially viable. "We were proactive in adjusting our business model, but it hurts that we had to let a lot of great people go," he notes.
