  • Our Community Involvement

    We do not focus solely on placing people in jobs but believe in improving the workforce in the community. We volunteer our time to train and coach youth and leaders of the community. Our leaders, Richard and Lynn Yoerk are proud of the way their internal staff has taken it upon themselves to go into the community and put their vision statement to work. In 2016, our offices contributed more than 500 volunteer and training hours within our community. 

    Because of the extensive effort Richard, Lynn and their staff has put forth in brand recognition for Express they were recently recognized as “Small Business of the Year” among their community peers. Express Office 2513/2700 has produced record breaking numbers for Express in the areas of client count and gross margin profit during the last year, we feel our community involvement has a lot to do with that.  For our offices to be recognized as the recipient of the Community Relations Award among our Express family and peers would make it a most memorable 2016 and a great start to 2017.
