Foodservice Equipment & Supplies named Gordon Marsh of Edward Don & Company in Woodridge, Ill., its 2021 DSR of the Year.

Marsh came to foodservice by way of the construction industry, where he had worked as a carpenter – often on front-of-the-house restaurant and hotel projects. Marsh went to school to learn drafting and design before eventually taking a job as a CAD operator for a millwork company. When the millwork business experienced a slowdown due to a struggling economy, Marsh began looking for other opportunities, which led him to Edward Don & Company, where his background in construction and project management continues to serve him well on the contract side of the business. As a project manager, his clients span everything from hotels to fine dining, among many others.

“Gordon’s knowledge of the construction industry paired with his drive to consistently learn more create a winning combination for Gordon, Edward Don & Company and its customers,” says Maureen Slocum, publisher of FE&S. “Gordon’s determination, organization and industry knowledge make him truly worthy of the FE&S DSR of the Year Award.

FE&S will profile Marsh’s career in its September 2021 edition.
