Known as the “GP Reeves Encyclopedia” for his vast knowledge of the company’s products and processes, Josh’s expertise is the result of years of experience and dedication.
Starting off Strong
After completing an AutoCAD course at his local community college, Josh Hendrick discovered a passion for engineering and the possibilities offered by the software. However, his enthusiasm to further his education was met with limited college options and course availability, leaving him disappointed. That’s when a friend informed him about an exciting opportunity to explore the field at a rising dispensing company. Eager to learn and grow, Josh seized the chance and joined the GP Reeves family in late January 1995 with an optimistic mindset and a strong desire to expand his knowledge.
In the beginning, Josh felt like the typical rookie, navigating the challenges of being the new guy. However, he was quickly taken under the wings of his colleagues and immersed in the intricacies of the dispensing industry. Since the company was still small when Josh joined, he received ample attention and training, helping him feel like part of the team in no time. This period marked the start of Josh’s journey of growth and development within the company, setting the foundation for his future success at GP Reeves.
