HRL Compliance Solutions, Inc. announces new leadership following acquisition by employee Matt Smith, the hiring of an environmental division manager (aka Earth Janitor), and the opening of a new office in Rifle, Colo. The acquisition signifies a transformation for HRL, as Smith aims to expand its capabilities in an ever-changing regulatory and environmental landscape.
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- After more than two decades of dedicated leadership, Herman Lucero has sold HRL Compliance Solutions, Inc. to employee Matt Smith, marking a new chapter for the company. Under Lucero's ownership, HRL Compliance Solutions grew into a trusted and reputable environmental firm working with a variety of industries, recognized for its expertise in regulatory compliance, environmental solutions, and innovative industry practices.
Matt Smith, an industry veteran with more than 12 years of experience in the oil and gas and environmental sectors, an HRL employee for six of those years, and a Colorado Mesa University alumni, now leads the company into its next phase. His extensive background in regulatory compliance, environmental management, and industry best practices positions him to uphold HRL's commitment to excellence while exploring new avenues for growth and innovation.
"I am honored to take on this leadership role and continue the legacy of excellence that HRL Compliance Solutions has established," said Smith. "Our team remains committed to providing industry-leading regulatory and environmental compliance solutions while embracing innovation to meet the evolving needs of our clients."
The acquisition signifies an exciting period of transformation for HRL, as Smith aims to build upon the company's strong foundation and expand its capabilities in an ever-changing regulatory and environmental landscape.
To that end, Smith brought on Dustin Held as Environmental Division Manager to the HRL team. With more than 15 years of hands-on experience in environmental compliance and an environmental geology degree from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Held brings a wealth of expertise and strong industry relationships to his new role. Held often describes his work as being an "earth janitor," focusing on cleaning up and managing environmental challenges across various industries.
Held is based in the newly-opened HRL field office in Rifle, Colorado, and will guide HRL's efforts in industries such as oil and gas and governmental compliance, while helping expand the company's network and workforce.
The new Rifle office is located at 762 Buckhorn Drive in Rifle and will act as a division office to better support Environmental Services within Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.
