United Uptime Services Named to 2025 Gilbarco Veeder-Root Circle of Excellence

United Uptime Services has been recognized with the 2025 Gilbarco Circle of Excellence Award and the 2025 Veeder-Root Circle of Excellence Award. Both awards were presented at the Houston branch. Receiving recognition from both brands in the same year is a meaningful acknowledgment of the sales achievement, customer service, and operations work behind both product lines across our service territory.

The Circle of Excellence is an annual, prestigious award program presented by Gilbarco Veeder-Root. It recognizes top-performing distributors and channel partners who have demonstrated exceptional dedication, high-level customer service, and outstanding sales performance in the petroleum and c-store fueling industry. United Uptime Services received both the Gilbarco award and the Veeder-Root award for 2025.

What the Circle of Excellence Recognizes

The Circle of Excellence is given for sustained performance across a full year, measured against every other Gilbarco Veeder-Root distributor in North America. The criteria include outstanding sales growth, technical expertise, high-level customer service, and overall commitment to representing each brand's product line.

The award is not a sales-volume award alone. It also reflects the quality of the customer relationships behind the sales, the support delivered after the sale, and the operational consistency that keeps customers coming back.

The Gilbarco and Veeder-Root awards are run as separate programs. Distributors are evaluated independently for each brand.

Two Separate Awards in the Same Year

The Gilbarco Circle of Excellence and the Veeder-Root Circle of Excellence are two distinct annual recognitions. United Uptime Services received both for 2025.

Both awards were presented at the Houston branch in two separate presentations:

• Clint Noble of Gilbarco presented the Gilbarco Circle of Excellence Award, recognizing United Uptime Services' sales performance, technical execution, and customer service representing the Gilbarco fueling solutions line.
• Will Saladino of Veeder-Root presented the Veeder-Root Circle of Excellence Award, recognizing the same standards on the Veeder-Root tank gauging and compliance line.

Earning recognition from both brands in the same year is a meaningful distinction. The two awards reflect performance across two different product families with different sales motions, different technical demands, and different customer relationships. Receiving both signals that the work is consistent across the full breadth of what United Uptime Services delivers.

What This Means for the Operators We Serve

For the operators choosing a distributor partner, two separate OEM recognitions in the same year is independent third-party validation across both product families. The Gilbarco recognition reflects the sales and service standard on the dispenser and forecourt side. The Veeder-Root recognition reflects the same standard on the tank gauging and compliance side. Most fuel sites need both. The teams that get both right are the partners worth selecting.

The Teams Behind Both Recognitions

Awards are presented to companies. The work is done by people. The 2025 Gilbarco and Veeder-Root recognitions belong to:

• Our sales team for the relationships, the growth, and the trust customers placed in United Uptime Services across the year.
• Our customer service and account management teams for the post-sale experience that turns first-time customers into long-term customers.
• Our operations teams. Service technicians, install and construction crews, parts coordinators, and dispatch who perform the work that turns commitments into delivered results.
• Our branch teams across multiple geographies who held the standard locally.
• Our compliance, technology, and monitoring teams who carried the regulatory and operational data side.
• Our admin, back-office, finance, and HR teams who made everything else possible.

Every role contributed.

Thank You

Thank you to Gilbarco and Veeder-Root, and to Clint Noble and Will Saladino for traveling to present the awards in person. We are proud to represent both product lines across the markets we serve.

The deeper thank you goes to the operators who trusted United Uptime Services with their business across 2025. The awards are a snapshot of the work. The trust you placed in us is the reason there was work to recognize.

Looking forward to 2026.
