This prestigious award is named in honor of Royce Barnhardt, the father of the company's
co-founder Keith Barnhardt, whose
vision, passion, and relentless determination have significantly
influenced the foundational principles of the franchise system.
Royce Barnhardt's commitment to
excellence continues to inspire the core values and operations at
101 Mobility. "Royce has always embodied commitment, loyalty, and
an extraordinary dedication to customer care. He was never just
about finding what was needed; he was always there offering how he
could help," said Keith Barnhardt,
co-founder of 101 Mobility.

way we serve our customers. His legacy is embodied in the service
we provide and the lives we improve every day."

success. Royce's spirit of innovation and service continues to
inspire our entire team."

and commitment to superior customer service truly reflect the
values advocated by Royce
Barnhardt.

made a significant impact on the community by improving mobility
and life quality for 4,566 individuals to date. Michel is
recognized for his expertise and reliability, providing services
that customers depend on. His approach involves thorough
follow-ups, effective problem-solving, and a commitment to
advocating for enhanced accessibility in the community.

Royce Barnhardt attending to witness
the first recipient named in his honor. "Seeing the award presented
for the first time and having my father there to experience it was
profoundly moving," remarked Keith
Barnhardt.
