“I am very excited about the new opportunities that come along with being regional manager,” said Thompson. “I can’t wait to dive in and better understand my expanded territory. I look forward to building relationships with the customer base and adding value to their vegetation programs.”

Shane Vosberg will oversee operations in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. He has held various positions in the vegetation management industry since 2005. Vosberg joined WTS in 2020 as a division manager.

“I am looking forward to further developing business partnerships with our current and potential customers, providing support to the management team within the region, and the opportunity to help grow the company for our employee owners,” said Vosberg.

Vice President of Operations Adam Larson believes Thompson and Vosberg are poised for continued success in their respective areas. “Both Gavin and Shane exemplify WTS values and will excel in their new roles,” he said. “I am very proud of the work they do to support our customers, employees, and company.”
