There is no “i” in Roger Camp-

bell. He’s all about his team. Chances are he’s always been that way.

Even a basic knowl-edge of Campbell’s background re-veals a consistent

commitment to a distinct theme: group syn-ergy.

Campbell, MPW’s corporate training and em-ployee development manager, began his col-lege education in 1961 at Muskingum College. Nine years later he had attained his Bachelors of Science from Muskingum and his Master’s Degree from Bowling Green State University.

While working toward those degrees Camp-bell began a career in college athletics. For 13 years he had stints as a football coach and in athletics departments at Ohio Wesleyan, Bowling Green, Grove City College, Westmin-ster College and Earlham College.

Now, 40 years after the publication of Woody Hayes’ book You Win With People, Campbell’s similar message is as valid to the industrial cleaning trade as it is to building a football program: “You can’t accomplish anything without good people. Machines are of little value without good people to run them and maintain them.”

Through its training program, MPW has made

its group of good people even better.

Unquestionably, a safer, more efficient work-force has created a tangible business advantage for MPW.

“It’s vital to make sure our training is better than our competitors’,” he says. “We want to set the pace in the industry.”

Bottom line: Campbell and the training team have become not only an educational resource, but a commercial asset.

The story of how this was accomplished goes back four years to when Campbell, too ener-getic and goal oriented to settle for retirement, joined MPW after a 31-year stint at Worthing-ton Industries.

When he started, he was one of only two MPW employees whose sole focus was training. Now Campbell’s group includes Corporate Trainer and Confined Space Rescue Team Director Jason Painter and Operations Trainers Dave Taylor, Dennis Maxwell, Jerry Binkley (Rock-port, In) and Adam Pearl (Pittsburgh). The group is supported by Event Planner Haley Black.

Five minutes in the Training Room with Campbell or any of MPW’s other training managers is all it takes to realize their con-siderable talent in the areas of teaching and motivation. This is a main reason the training group is such an invaluable asset.

“I’m extremely proud of my team,” Campbell says. “They’re very tuned in to wanting to help

NORMAL, Ill. — MPW’s Facility Manage-ment Division has been awarded a two-year contract from Mitsubishi Motors which will result in nearly 40 additional jobs.

MPW will provide technical paint clean-ing services and support for Mitsubishi’s total waste management and environmental processes.

The contract is the result of over a year of work from Director of Business Development Steve McKenney and Account Manager Ryan Raper, who both had previous relationships at Mitsubishi.

Other companies that were contending for Mitsubishi’s business included Team Indus-trial and Voith Industrial Services.

Raper and McKenney added key members to MPW’s team from Mitsubishi’s previous facilities partner. This was an important step in gaining the contract ahead of competitors.

MPW’s competitive pricing and its focus on

corporate relationships and support were also vital factors in completing the deal, ac-cording to Raper.

Raper said McKenney, Facility Support Controller Shane DeFazio, Regional Opera-tions Manager Dewayne Barnett, Supervisors Warnie Honsman and Antonio De La Cruz and Office Administrator Elizabeth Meyers all played essential roles in completing the agreement.

“It was the best launch I have been a part of or heard of in regard to customer satisfac-tion, cost to our customer and profitability to MPW,” said Raper.

Raper worked for Voith from 1993 to 2012, including 13 years at the Mitsubishi facility. He was eventually promoted to facility man-ager. In 2006 he helped launch several ac-counts with Ford Motor Company including Cleveland Engine Plant 1, Cleveland Engine Plant 2, Cleveland Castings, Ford R&E in Dearborn Mich., and Chicago Assembly. In 2012 he left Voith and went to work for URS, providing full-service facility maintenance for Caterpillar’s Engine Testing Facility.

The contract includes a one-year extension if mutually accepted by Mitsubishi and MPW. To learn more about MPW’s Facility Manage-ment team, go to http://www.mpwservices.com/facility.

Training Camp Continued from page 1...

As recent ly as 2010, MPW’s course of ferings were most ly l imited to Occupational Safety and Health Administra-t ion (OSHA) 10- and 30-hour cert if icat ion classes.

To fulf i l l customer needs and increased regulat ions, the training group now of fers more than 40 specif ic courses in the areas of Equipment Training, OSHA Training, Site Specif ic Training, Leadership Development and Miscel-laneous Training.

Although most MPW courses are intended for its own employees, the training group has experience teaching courses for outside businesses, including MPW custom-ers such as AEP. Campbel l notes that MPW is seeking an increase in these types of opportunit ies.

Understandably, MPW’s overarching training focus is safety.

It ’s important to understand that when Campbel l says this, it ’s not as i f he’s repeating a corporate mandate from a teaching manual. There is genuine sincerity that is im-possible to imitate.

“Safety is more than a priority. It ’s a core va lue.”

Perhaps it is this convict ion that has made him an ef fec-t ive leader for the last ha lf century or so.

There are severa l common traits among accomplished leaders, one of which is f lexibi l ity. The trainers inst i l l this v ir tue into their classes.

“You have to be capable of giv ing training when people need it ,” says Campbel l. “Adult learners wi l l only learn if it ’s important to them.”

Campbel l celebrated his 70th bir thday in September. He l ives in Pleasantvi l le with Sharon, his wife of 48 years. They have a son, Andy, a daughter, Amy Hathaway, and four grandchi ldren.

SMYRNA, Tenn. — MPW recently com-pleted a six-week deep-clean project at Nissan’s new Paint System 5 building that marked a seamless connection between the Facility Management and Industrial Clean-ing groups.

The assignment included paint-process equipment and building-structure deep cleaning requiring the use of multiple aer-ial man lifts, high-pressure water blasting equipment and an industrial vacuum truck.

MPW was awarded the contract due to competitive pricing, proven ability to pro-vide quality service and a good relationship with Nissan resulting from past projects, including a five-month deep-clean in 2012.

Integral in the procurement and execution of the project was Dewayne Barnett, who is a Regional Manager for MPW’s Facility Management Division.

Barnett credited Craig Love and Chip

Dykeman with much of the Nissan ven-ture’s success.

Love was the project manager and was acting in his first assignment with MPW. Dykeman is a business development man-ager for the Facility Management team who was responsible for calling on Nissan and administering the contract-quote process.

Other MPW Facility Management em-ployees who played key roles in the proj-ect were Mark Durbridge (Canada), Sean Walp (business development), Scott Stew-art (projects), Mary Patterson (supervisor), Matt Walter (operations manager) and Stewart Buckett (safety manager). ICG em-ployees were Bud Lowery (operations man-ager) and John Garrett (supervisor).

MPW continues to receive contracts for other project work at Nissan with the end goal of securing ongoing services in the near future.
