Gillman Houston Area and Gillman San Antonio Dealerships Once Again Designated as Top 100 Work Places!
Really good news that’s getting to be almost like old news! For the eleventh time, Gillman dealerships in the Houston area, including Gillman Nissan in Fort Bend County, were named Top 100 Work Places! Not to be outdone, the Gillman San Antonio dealerships earned the Top 100 Work Places award for the ninth time! As an aside, the program started in Houston a few years before coming to San Antonio.
Being named a Top 100 Work Place out of the tens of thousands of companies that are surveyed is a singular honor. Groups vying for this award include health-care organizations, hospitals, school districts, colleges, major oil companies, huge real estate firms and more. To achieve this distinction multiple times attests to the spirit and heart of our organization.
While physical facilities are important, truly great work places attain that stature because of the people who work there. So this award is a tribute to the entire Gillman teams in both cities because the qualifying survey uses employee responses to determine recipients.
“Way to go” to all Gillman team members who made this happen!

The 27th Annual Ramsay Gillman Charitable Golf Tournament Continues to Provide Outstanding Support for the Fort Bend County Women’s Center!
The fairways of Sweetwater Country Club were alive with excitement at the November 7th start of the 27th annual Ramsay Gillman Charitable Golf Tournament. The players, attending sponsors and spectators were enthusiastic about being part of what has become an almost legendary fund-raising event for the Fort Bend County Women’s Center.
The Center has received well over $1 million in funding from the tournament to support the much needed programs they offer. These include crises intervention, emergency residence, family support, counseling and assistance for women and children in need due to domestic violence or sexual assault.
A special Gillman “Way to go!” to our great team of volunteers who gave their time and more to help conduct a fine day of golf, competition and sportsmanship. Due to their efforts, all who attended enjoyed a top-ticket experience.
The entire Gillman team extends their heartfelt thanks to our honored sponsors and the players who came out to aid a truly worthy cause. They have made this event possible. Together we have built a memorable funding resource for the Fort Bend County Women’s Center.

Gillman Chevrolet in Harlingen Holds Thanksgiving Feast for Team Members!

The 20-Foot RuleAt Gillman dealerships, our number one priority is building customer trust and loyalty. So first impressions are very important. One of the strongest negative experiences a person can have is to walk into a store and stand there being ignored by people who should be of assistance. When that happens, many people leave the premises, never to return. Preventing that and trying to ease the awkward tension we all feel in a new situation is at the heart of our 20-Foot Rule. It is every Gillman team member’s job, whenever they pass within 20 feet of an obviously unattended customer, to immediately stop and render assistance. It only takes a few seconds to be sure that person is being helped. Those few seconds can make the difference between gaining a friend for life and losing an individual’s business forever. Let our customers know how much we appreciate them visiting our stores by lending a helping hand and showing our friendly Gillman spirit. |
