Employee Spotlight: Vanessa Ware – iPROMOTEu's Supplier Rep of the Year 2024
We’re thrilled to shine the spotlight on High Caliber Line’s very own Vanessa Ware, who was named iPROMOTEu's Supplier Representative of the Year at the 2025 PPAI Expo. During iPROMOTEu’s Awards Ceremony, Vanessa was celebrated for her unparalleled dedication, creativity, and exceptional service—a recognition so well-deserved.
A Journey of Excellence![]()
Vanessa’s story is one of passion, growth, and resilience. Starting her HCL adventure back in 2006 as an Order Entry Specialist, she dove headfirst into the world of promotional products, even when it felt like learning an entirely new language (let’s hear it for all those product codes and printing processes!).
From managing orders via fax machines to earning her stripes as the “Lanyard Queen” while training countless teammates, Vanessa’s determination to always bring her best has defined her career. She has worn many hats—Customer Service, Territory Rep, Trade Show Coordinator, and now Sales Extraordinaire managing National Accounts.
Her energy and expertise don’t just stop at sales. Vanessa has been a driving force at industry trade shows for over 12 years, leading with enthusiasm and forging connections with clients that go far beyond business.
Recognition Well-Earned
Vanessa’s love for the industry and her clients shines through in everything she does. This dedication earned her the Achievement Award in 2018 for going above and beyond at HCL. Fast forward to 2025, and her commitment to excellence has now earned her the prestigious title of Supplier Representative of the Year.
Teamwork Makes It Happen
While Vanessa’s dedication and creativity have been pivotal to her success, great achievements are often supported by great teamwork. A special shoutout goes to Chelsey Juarez, Customer Service Representative, for her invaluable assistance on this account. Chelsey’s support and attention to detail were key contributors to ensuring a seamless experience for the client.
Celebrating Vanessa
Vanessa’s vibrant personality, innovative spirit, and unwavering dedication inspire us all. Whether she’s dazzling at trade shows, delivering creative solutions for clients, or mentoring her colleagues, she embodies the heart and soul of HCL.
HCL is beyond proud of Vanessa and thanks her for 19 years of excellence and for continuing to make HCL shine!
