ESPO company history timeline
After earning his degree and working as an independent contractor, Gene founded ESPO Engineering Corporation in 1965, helping other technical contractors find employment.
In 1968, a small group of paediatric otolaryngologists in Italy (Carlo Gatti Manacini, Renato Fior and Giulio Pestalozza) took the initiative to organise a conference in Sirmione to share their experience and discuss potential innovations.
In 1977 a second meeting followed, organised by the same group: the official 1st World Congress of Pediatric ORL. At the end of this event, the European Working Group in Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology (EWGPO) was founded.
Originally established in 1981, we’re now one of the country’s largest PBOs, managed by six member authority councils: Leicestershire County Council, Lincolnshire County Council, Cambridgeshire County Council, Norfolk County Council, Warwickshire County Council, and Peterborough City Council.
After several years of successfully serving contractors and clients, in 1985 Gene moved ESPO’s corporate office to Willowbrook, IL, where it currently resides.
