“I met Ron Pate and Bob Gates 11 years ago when I first got into the public safety business. It was easy enough to conduct business with them based on their style and their product lines. What I didn’t realize at that time was just how knowledgeable these guys are about the industry and their product lines. I made the decision at some point early on in our relationship to learn as much from these guys as possible and it has served me well in my career. Whether you need assistance with products, need help writing a bid response, need a historical perspective on a person or company, or simply need some advice on a life situation, these guys are always there and have not steered me wrong. There are no hidden agendas with Ron and Bob. What you see is what you get and I would recommend R&R to anyone that wants to grow their business. It is not often that you can grow your business, develop relationships built on trust, and have a little fun along the way. This is exactly what my experience has been with Ron and Bob.”

Our relationship with R&R dates back to the late 1970's. Working with Ron Pate and Bob Gates, we have been able to develop new markets and new products that have helped our company grow considerably. In addition, with the help of R&R we have been able to broaden our business abilities. We now offer distribution programs as well as garment manufacturing through the efforts of R&R. R&R is also well versed in the supply side of manufacturing and been very helpful in finding new supply sources as we develop new products.
With all of the above being said, working with Ron Pate and Bob Gates has been more than a business relationship. Our company is 108 years old and when I first joined the firm, business deals were made on a handshake. That is how we do business with R&R. Ron and Bob are part of our family.

I consider meeting Ron and Bob one of the turning points in the evolution of our company. More than 20 years have past and there are many words that describe the type of people they are and the value they add in all of their relationships throughout our industry. They are experts in their field, polished professionals, mentors and above beyond all things they are gentlemen who are friends to our industry and their communities. Their proactive manner and appreciation of the 'art of a sale' make them invaluable contributors to any situation. I consider us fortunate to call R&R, our partners.
