While Presco is a small company with roughly 200 employees, it’s been expanding in recent years and is focused now more than ever on aggressive growth in the future.

Manley also mentioned the partnership Presco has with nearby Grayson College to provide technical training to both rookie and seasoned employees alike. Presco will pay the tuition and time on the clock for its team members to learn new skills.
