Diversified Utility Services, a minority-owned business, was established as a natural gas distribution contractor to perform work for the local natural gas utility company. As we grew, we began to receive additional opportunities in the transmission pipeline market, necessitating the hiring of additional personnel and investing in tools, equipment, and technology. Today, we continue to expand in to new areas and create lasting relations with our customers. While we are dedicated to investing in tools, equipment, and technology to provide our customers with a high quality product, our most important investment is our employees. Our staff is expected to adhere to high standards of professionalism and personal integrity. We achieve that through comprehensive and on-going training programs that include Leadership, Safety, Quality, and Environmental Compliance. Additionally, our employees are encouraged to invest in themselves by striving for excellence and pursing the necessary training and continuing education to continue both their personal and professional growth. We strongly believe in promoting from within and will do so whenever possible. Diversified Utility Services will conduct its business honestly and ethically wherever we operate. We will constantly improve our services, products, and operations and will maintain a reputation for honesty, fairness, respect, responsibility, integrity, trust, and sound business judgement. Diversified will not compromise its principles for short term advantage. We are currently licensed for natural gas utility construction and maintenance in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Virginia.
