Helping Business Partners Create Value

In 1991, our company had its promising beginning as a one-man consulting firm – Willingham Associates. The Willingham Associates Letter, a publication for the propane industry, shared a wide variety of experience, advice, best practices and witticisms to challenge propane retailers to think outside the box.

To this day Propane Resources carries on the practice of sharing knowledge and experience through industry publications and presentations. We share this blog in the hopes you’ll find ways of looking at new and not-so-new challenges in a different light in order to streamline operations, promote customer and employee safety, and ultimately increase your company’s margins.
