SWIFTWICK EARNS EMPLOYER OF THE YEAR

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 13, 2011) – Constant creative refinements in compression sock design, along with the use of quality materials and construction techniques have earned Swiftwick the respect of athletes around the world.  Swiftwick made a commitment to manufacturing in Tennessee and set a priority in its employee and contractor recruitment effort to hire individuals with disabilities. That decision recently resulted in an employer of the year award, the second such award for the company in as many years.

Swiftwick, a compression sock company, named Employer of the Year.

Swiftwick Accepts Employer of The Year Award

The Nashville Area Employment Consortium and Tennessee Business Leadership Network selected Swiftwick as one of five Employers of the Year, resenting awards at their fifth annual luncheon on Oct. 25. In recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, these two organizations partner each October to honor businesses that have been successful in providing employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

“Our rabid customer who loves their Swiftwick socks made this possible,” said Mark A. Cleveland, company President.  “Maybe without knowing it, every consumer who buys Swiftwick compression socks, helps provide an employment platform for individuals who are just as rabid about quality control, who touch and inspect every pair and who may happen to also have a disability.”

Swiftwick's President, Mark Cleveland, accepts award

Swiftwick employs more than two dozen full time employees and contractors involved in local sales, production and packaging operations.  A contributor to the community in many ways beyond its employment of individuals with special needs, the company helps a wide variety of charities and organizations nationwide by designing custom, co-branded socks.   Colorful socks with a collectible design, a school logo or team slogan and creative graphics have proven to be a fantastic fund raising tool.

The company won its first Employer of the Year award in 2010 and shared the stage with Salvatore “Sal” Pellegrino, who at the same time was recognized as 2010 Employee of the Year in Williamson County.  Sal’s commitment to keeping pace in a demanding workplace is evident today.  Then, as now, all employees at Swiftwick share in and take pride in this award because together they create the environment where anyone can be productive.  “Five Nashville area employers earned this honor, which tells you a lot about what’s happening in Nashville,” Cleveland adds, “but it was a surprise to my team because we stopped thinking in terms of a disability, rather we focus on abilities.”

The other companies honored at the Oct. 25 luncheon were Delaware North Companies, Hampton Inn, Publix Fieldstone Farms and Primrose School Hendersonville. The Nashville Area Employment Consortium is a collaborative group of employment service professionals that works closely with the Tennessee Business Leadership Network to provide information to the business community about the benefits of hiring persons with disabilities. Activities include Lunch and Learn events, Disability Employment Month in October, and an Annual Awards Banquet in October.

The Tennessee Business Leadership Network provides employers with education and resources, and helps organizations realize the business imperative of including individuals with disabilities in the workforce and marketplace.

Headquartered in Brentwood Tennessee, Swiftwick is a performance sock manufacturer that proudly employs the American workforce, building a full line of compression socks.  Swiftwick’s vision is to design and produce the best active-wear products on the planet, using environmentally friendly means, social responsibility and superior customer service to create a competitive advantage.

Proclamation of Love – by Max King

I must confess, I’ve had quite the affair the last couple months. It started with my across the world trip to Albania, continued across different time zones from Island Time to the East Coast, weekend to weekend, now it’s come to the point where I need my fix almost every day. You see, I’ve always been a cotton sock kind of guy. It didn’t matter the conditions. I guess you could say it was somewhat…unconditional love. I was in away, married to them. I loved the touch, the feel of cotton when I was training, when I was racing, and for everyday hanging out.

Max King in ASPIRE ONES

Until September that is. That’s when I was introduced to Swiftwick.  A sales rep came into the shop, brand new cadet cap with the Swiftwick logo smartly placed in an ever so hip position, touting the latest and greatest in sock technology.  Jenny, our soft goods buyer, was talking to him and mentioned that I should get a pair. So I sauntered over, checked em out, and said “sure, I’ll test them out in my next race”. He didn’t know my next race was going to be the World Mtn Running Championships. They were the Swiftwick Aspire One sock.

World Mtn Running Champs

When I put them on for that race it was like the sock became one with my foot. It was snug enough not to slip around, but not too tight to cut circulation off. It was perfect. But I still needed to see how they performed in a race. Needless to say, they performed amazingly well in conditions that would test any sock on the market. It was hot, it was technical, it was dirty and dusty. I was soaking wet and muddy and I never even noticed the socks. Were these the best socks ever or just a fluke?

I’ve continued to test the Swiftwick sock line out from the wool Pursuit line to the high performance no seam Aspire line. They are all amazing socks but for racing I still prefer the tight fitting no-seam ASPIRE ONE‘s. They’re thin, don’t move a millimeter even in technical terrain, and the Olefin fibers wick moisture better than anything I’ve ever had on my feet. It’s all I race in now and all I train in.

At this point I even have a hard time going back to the old cotton standby for every day use as well…so I usually don’t. It’s only when I’m out of clean Swiftwicks that I revert to that old soggy cotton. Try em out. You’ll love them. Best… sock… ever!

ASPIRE™ FOUR Review by Gabe Garcia

December 13th’s $25 Gift Card winner from our daily Review Contest, Gabe Garcia shares his experience of our ASPIRE™ FOUR‘s:

There is no question that these are the best athletic socks I have worn. These socks fit better and feel more comfortable than the other brands I’ve tried. These socks are tight around the foot and just loose enough around the toes. The 4″ height keeps me warm on the 40 – 50 degree days. I ride 100 miles per week and run 25 miles per week on average and have recommended these socks to to everyone I train with.

VIBE™ ONE Review by Michele Zebrowitz

December 12th’s $25 Gift Card winner from our daily Review Contest, Michele Zebrowitz shares her experience of our VIBE™ ONE‘s:

These socks feel amazing on my feet, even after an entire day standing at work or riding my bike! I like the look of them, too….very stylish.  The pink makes them girly enough but not too much.  My favorite part about the socks is that they really keep your feet comfortable and cool when it’s hot.

PURSUIT™ Review by Moses Rodriguez

December 11th’s $25 Gift Card winner from our daily Review Contest, Moses Rodriguez shares his experience of our PURSUIT™ line:

During a recent century ride in cold rain my “Swiftwick Woolies” kept my feet warm as I descended from Southern California’s Glendora Mountain, East Fork, and San Gabriel Canyon Roads. The rain pelted me like miniature ice cubes as I traveled on the descent. My face, arm and knee warmers, bibs, jersey and head were wet.  Keeping my spirits high were my Woolies; my feet were warmly nested in my shoes as I descended the mountain for the first time in the rain. I am indebted to my Swiftwick Woolies.

VIBE™ ONE Review by Marilyn Illig

December 10th’s $25 Gift Card winner from our daily Review Contest, Marilyn Illig shares her experience of our VIBE™ ONE‘s:

Have been using socks for over 2 years.  They are long lasting, great for running, walking and I even wear them with my boots because they are so comfortable.  Especially like that they are wool as feet breathe and stay cool.  Just ordered the Vibe and am looking forward to trying this new style.  Always recommend to my friends.

PURSUIT™ SEVEN Review by Steve Dale

December 9th’s $25 Gift Card winner from our daily Review Contest, Steve Dale shares his experience of our PURSUIT™ SEVEN‘s:

I live in Portland, OR and these are my go to socks.  So much so, that I wear them every day.  I just asked for 4 more pairs for Christmas!  I ride every day rain or shine and these socks always keep me warm.  Whether it is during a muddy NW Cyclocross race or just the rainy commute to work, I am always happy with the results.  How about a Pursuit 5?

ASPIRE™ TWELVE Review by Laurel Rathbun

December 8th’s $25 Gift Card winner from our daily Review Contest, Laurel Rathbun shares her experience of our ASPIRE™ TWELVE‘s:

I have occasionally forgotten to put my Aspire 12′s in my cycling bag and always regret when it happens. They fit perfectly and have just the right amount of compression. I can genuinely tell a difference when I wear them after racing. Oh, and I have been seen in a few airports sporting my Black Aspire Twelve socks with a skirt and hoodie.
