WARSAW — John Sproul, operations manager at Clearwater Car Wash, was one of five winners in the United States to receive the 2018 Emerging Leaders Scholarship.

Each year the award is given to up-and-coming car wash industry leaders under the age of 45.

“It’s an honor to receive this award and represent Clearwater Car Wash this way,” Sproul said. “I wouldn’t want to work in any other community. The people we serve motivate us to work harder and deliver the best car wash experience possible.”

Sproul started working at Clearwater in 2016 as a salesman and his hard work soon led to him becoming a shift supervisor. He now serves as the operations manager, overseeing employees and ensuring customer satisfaction.

“John is a great example of what makes Clearwater Car Wash so special,” said Clearwater General Manager Travis Jones. “He loves his work and he makes that clear in everything he does, from serving customers to managing employees.”

Emerging Leaders Scholarship winners are recognized based on their commitment to excellent business practices in the car wash industry. Recipients exemplify strong leadership, provide exceptional customer service and facilitate consistent growth within their organizations.
