Competitive Energy Services

Portland Trails connects people with places and that works well for the Competitive Energy Services Team, where each and every day we’re all about keeping our connections strong and one of the ways we do that is through team-building activities and experiences.

Most recently, our Analytics Team (a.k.a. The A-Team) further strengthened their already sturdy team bond by volunteering to help clean and maintain the Evergreen Woods Trails, four miles of beautiful hiking and biking trails located behind Portland’s historic Evergreen Cemetery.

“As avid users of the many outdoor recreation opportunities and trails around Portland, our team’s afternoon of volunteering offered an opportunity to give back in some small way to our community while getting together for a group activity. By giving back in this way, we were able to spend some quality time together as a group and have some fun outside the office as a team in a productive way. The work that Portland Trails does to maintain accessible green space and outdoor recreation opportunities across the urban cityscape of Portland is part of what makes Portland such an amazing city. It was incredibly rewarding to help that work in a small way.” said Simon Pritchard, Managing Director of Analytics.
Afterward, the A-Team rounded out their day of volunteering by cooling down with Bubble Tea at Le’ Cha Café.
