A Tribute to Bill Clark

The loss of our President and friend Bill Clark, greatly affected our ESS Family. Bill was a brilliant businessman but more importantly, he was a kind and compassionate leader of every community he belonged to.

Bill worked for Motorola for many years rising to Vice President of Service for the Northeast Division before founding ESS in 1996. As President of ESS, Bill made it a point to know all of his customers and visited many of them personally. Bill was of the opinion that at the heart of every business relationship was a human being and he never failed to make that personal connection. He frequently spent time exchanging stories with his employees and took a genuine interest in every person he met.

A giant of a man and a respected member of our community, Bill we be sorely missed but never forgotten, and we carry on…

At the foundation of who we are, ESS continues to honor Bill through Our Mission: We Make Your Connection, A Personal Connection. You are not just our customer; you are Our Friends, Family and Community!
