A long-standing summer tradition at PremierIMS is the employee offshore fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico. Armed with plenty of sunscreen and Dramamine, employees board a fishing boat in hopes of catching the most fish and bragging rights for the year.
When the 2008 recession hit many yearly activities were curtailed until better economic times prevailed. We’re all glad to say the tradition is back in action! This past Saturday our 25-person group ventured out for some great fishing, lots of laughs and good memories.
