 | The heat is on – quite literally! Summer has arrived, and with it comes the very heart of working AND playing hard. Whether it’s being out in the pool, enjoying the great outdoors, spending time with family and friends, running a charity event, or developing new dreams with clients, we’re committed to Integrity in every interaction.
Commitment is a dedication of a different color; it is a total and complete focus on the project at hand. With the Renier Experience being the defining factor of how we operate, we believe there is no excuse for not being able to commit to Integrity in all its forms. But talking about it doesn’t do anything if we don’t show it! So, let’s take a look at the last quarter and how we were able to show our commitment to Integrity.
Let’s take a look at the past quarter and how commitment, open communication, and Integrity have helped us thrive. |

In April of 2021, we began work on a massive update for the Byers Mazda Service Center. This update involved a total and complete commitment to every step of the process, with a goal of providing the best customer service as efficiently and professionally as possible. Though the older facility had served Byers Mazda well for many years, it was time for an upgrade, and so we set out to make this new facility the best it could possibly be. The facility opened in March of 2022, just a few months ago, and we couldn’t be prouder of what the team accomplished here. We are so grateful to Byers Mazda for trusting us and look forward to many more projects together. Take a look at the photos – isn’t the new building just gorgeous? |

Jameson’s Wish
When Renier gets a chance to give back to the community, we do everything we can to contribute. In April, we were able to unveil a very special project for a very special young man.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation had a unique request from Jameson Colley, who has been battling leukemia since December of 2019. If you aren’t familiar with Make-A-Wish, they are a non-profit organization that grants “wishes” to children with critical illnesses. The foundation does all it can to provide these children with wishes that inspire hope, courage, and the strength to continue fighting.
Though initially, Jameson had hoped for a trip out west with his family, COVID-19 prevented traveling. Jameson decided on a new “wish” that represented both his dedication to his community as well as his passion for his favorite sport – baseball.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation, together with Renier, constructed Jameson’s wish for a set of batting cages for the community and school baseball program to share together. These were placed alongside Worthington Christian School’s Mike Penn Baseball Field and unveiled on Wednesday, April 13, 2022. We are honored to have been part of Jameson’s wish, and hope it brings the community together for many years to come! |
