Stillwater Designs, the makers of KICKER Performance Audio products, celebrated the anniversaries of over 50 employees at a company-wide meeting last week. The event culminated in recognition of the 30-year anniversaries of regional sales managers Lori Boyer and Tracy Focht.

KICKER has been celebrating work anniversaries since the early 1980s.

“I’m really honored,” said Steve Irby, company founder. “It’s rewarding to me to know somebody wants to stay here, and great to see people that are team players. I really value that.”

Irby kicked off the ceremony with high praise for the attitudes of everyone on the company’s staff. Employees celebrating an anniversary received accolades for one, three, five, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years, which included monetary awards and jewelry. In addition to the pair of 30-year service honors, employees Trevis Rakey and Josh Alexander received recognition for being with the company for 25 years.
