Management Profiles

On a hot August morning in 2003, GDP’s President, John Gordon, watched as nine lab puppies were born. Each of John’s three boys claimed one. His youngest son, Grayson, named his FLASH. They very quickly realized that Flash has a lot of character that separates him from his siblings. He consistently tries to please, always gives his best, is very loyal and above all else, he is fast.

It occurred to them that Flash embodies many of the core values we strive to uphold here at GDP – hence the idea was born to adopt him as our mascot. Our customers seem to love the idea, as do our employees. He has become a constant reminder to us to Respond In A Flash, to outperform the competition, to always do the right thing and be loyal.

Today Flash appears in our advertisements, attends corporate meetings and the occasional customer visit.
