RV Producer Pays Homage to Its Founding Father, John Crean RIVERSIDE, Calif., Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fleetwood Enterprises' RV Group, a leading producer of recreational vehicles, held its 16th annual Circle of Excellence ceremony during its 2007 National Dealer Meeting at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nev. Since 1991, Fleetwood awards the Circle of Excellence to dealers who received positive Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) scores from at least 93.5% of their customers surveyed. "Our Circle of Excellence awards celebrate Fleetwood dealers who provide the ultimate in customer service and demonstrate daily the high value they place on their customer relationships and customer satisfaction," said Paul Eskritt, President of Fleetwood's RV Group. "In fact, this year we had the privilege of honoring one dealer who has received perfect CSI scores every year since the inception of the Circle of Excellence award program." Stewart's RV from Saint Clairsville, OH -- who has achieved CSI perfection for 16 years -- was specially recognized by Eskritt and Elden Smith, President and CEO of Fleetwood Enterprises, at the end of the main awards presentation. Immediately following the award presentation, Smith paid tribute to Fleetwood's founder and creator of the industry-changing Bounder Class A gas motor home, John Crean, who passed away on January 11, 2007. "John Crean earned our enthusiasm, our loyalty, our minds and our hearts," said Smith. "We at Fleetwood will never forget him, or the things he stood for, and we will be forever grateful." After Smith's tribute, the 900-member audience watched a video that recounted Crean's life at Fleetwood and the impression he made on those who knew him, as well as those who only knew of him.
