At National, excellence is defined not only by the work we deliver, but by the people who make that work possible.

Robert Hunter was one of those people.

For years, Robert played an important role in the success of National Boiler Service, leading by example and demonstrating the integrity, respect, dedication, and commitment to others that continue to shape our organization today.

To honor his legacy, National established The Robert Hunter Excellence Award, an annual recognition presented to employees who demonstrate exceptional performance, dedication, and a positive impact across the organization.

Recipients are evaluated across key areas including:

  • Safety
  • Reliability
  • Quality of work
  • Teamwork
  • Initiative
  • Customer impact
  • Company culture

These qualities reflect the standards Robert championed throughout his career and the values that continue to guide National as we grow.

Celebrating Our First Recipients

We are proud to recognize Ashley Williamson and David Shadinger as the first annual recipients of The Robert Hunter Excellence Award and inductees into National's Circle of Excellence.

Their recognition reflects not only outstanding performance, but also the commitment, teamwork, and positive influence they bring to their colleagues, customers, and the organization as a whole.

We extend a special thank you to DeLaine Hunter, Robert's wife, for joining us and presenting the awards in his honor.

Robert's legacy continues through the people who uphold the standards he believed in every day. We are proud to carry that legacy forward and celebrate the employees who demonstrate what excellence at National looks like.

Congratulations to Ashley Williamson and David Shadinger on this well-deserved recognition.‍
