2023: Year in Review
By Gene Bransfield, Founder + CEO
At WarCollar Industries, we have the privilege and opportunity to serve a unique and awesome group of customers. This foundation of work allows WarCollar employees the opportunity to accomplish tasks that are relevant, meaningful, and personally fulfilling on a day to day basis. Most people will live their entire lives and never have an opportunity to contribute to something as meaningful as that. We recognize that the ability to support these tasks at this level is a rare thing, and a privileged thing. Simply put, we get to do really cool stuff and I am grateful for those opportunities.
Indeed, we at WarCollar have quite a few things to be grateful for this year. We’ve added even more cool stuff to do! We added multiple new positions in Ohio, Maryland, Texas, and new opportunities throughout the DMV, to include commercial and R&D opportunities that will bear fruit in 2024.
We are also grateful for our new personnel. Specifically, we grew the company by over 40% this year. That is an outstanding achievement by anyone’s measure!
And, if you have not been reading our posts throughout the year, here are some of the fun activities you might have missed:
We provided tens of thousands of dollars in referral bonuses.
We held three employee appreciation events this year: the Summer event at Nat’s Stadium, our first ever family day, and our epic holiday party.
We sold over 160 DopeScope 2.0s and even secured an award through the Tradewind Solutions Marketplace to build out the DopeScope 3.0.
We attended numerous industry events, including ShmooCon, DEF CON, and SAINT CON.
We even received a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition for outstanding and invaluable service to the community from Virginia Congressman Gerry Connolly.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our success this year, and see you in 2024!
