I’m just thrilled for Allison Springer and Arthur’s incredible success at Carolina International. Putting all three phases together can be so difficult, especially with the pressure of a large and extremely competitive division. Allison is the nicest person and so dedicated to Arthur. She fiercely believes in him and his talent, and it’s so nice to see a long-term partnership like theirs flourish. They deserve this win and all our congratulations!
