ABES – An Engineering Firm With Soul
Teaching me to fish
Thank you to the City of Memphis and our great business partners for teaching us how to fish. You are the real deal for us.
As you mentor us, we will mentor others. As you teach us how to catch big fish, we will teach others how to fish; and as we win more contracts we will continue hiring more employees and continue making a positive impact in Memphis and beyond.
Business can change our community
In June 2022, CEO Emmanuel Tuombe was invited to give a speech at the “We Mean Business Summit,” organized by the Memphis Office of Business Diversity and Compliance.
In his speech, Emmanuel shared his experience working with the City of Memphis 800 Initiative and how mentors in the community “taught him to fish” when it came to growing ABES.
We Are Ready to Serve Our City of Memphis
Nerve-racking moment reading the selection committee decision about our proposal! It was as intense as it gets, and ABES Engineering CEO Emmanuel Tuombe, P.E. and COO Brad Davis, PE invited the team to learn the decision together.
Fantastic news! Among 20 firms, ABES Engineering was selected in 2021 as one of four firms for the City of Memphis On Call Engineering Services for the next FIVE 🖐️ years.
Big milestone for us. We thank the City of Memphis and the City of Memphis Office of Business Diversity and Compliance for their continued support.
