After a 50-year career at Hotel & Restaurant Supply, Vice President of National Accounts, Ollie Wilkes, will be retiring on March 4, 2022.  

Ollie began his career at Hotel & Restaurant Supply in 1964 as the 7th employee of the company. After leaving the company for a different industry in 1972, Ollie returned to H&R in 1981 and built a tremendously successful department servicing national accounts and other large customers and has been a wealth of knowledge for both our customers and our employees. H&R President Mason Greene said, “Ollie’s successes have carried over into other parts of our organization, assisting in both our growth as a company, as well as our reputation in the industry and with other customers.” Greene continued, “Ollie has always been extremely focused on providing clients a great experience from the development of their concept all the way to how we handle any issues customers have after a project is completed. His remarkable career will leave a lasting legacy on his customers, our organization, and the industry as a whole.”

 As a testament to his impressive accomplishments and service to his customers, Ollie was awarded the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award from Foodservice Equipment & Supplies in 2013. 

Please join us in congratulating Ollie on his retirement and wishing him the best!
