Greenville Utilities’ Finance Department earned the Sustained Professional Purchasing Award from the North Carolina Association of Governmental Professionals (NCAGP) for the 15th consecutive year.  

This award recognizes the Procurement Team of the Finance Department for its outstanding work in purchasing and procurement. Procurement Manager Cleve Haddock and Buyer II Will James, both Certified Licensed Governmental Purchasing Officers, were instrumental in assisting the Department in winning this award. 

The Procurement Team buys or contracts services that all departments need while using the proper methods for purchasing goods and services within North Carolina. 

“This recognition is a testament to the continued excellence and professionalism of our procurement team and the outstanding work they do for GUC,” said Controller Amanda Wall.  

Will James also earned the NCAGP Billy D. Ray Purchaser of the Year Award. This award recognizes public purchasing professionals who have made significant contributions to their organization, profession, and careers within a two-year span.  

Congratulations to Cleve and Will on these well-deserved recognitions!
