OKLAHOMA CITY, OK ­ The Busey Group of Companies has added a new employee to the corporate office. Ray Parrish joins the company as Director of Strategic Operations after serving a long career with Boeing.

Parrish will help strengthen the infrastructure of the Busey Group and provide key expertise and experience to Busey Groupıs contracting company Delaware Resource Group (DRG).

"Rayıs experience will be invaluable to our organization as we grow our infrastructure and capabilities." Temple said. "His practical approach to business will require us to re-examine our current practices and develop a more comprehensive business plan to insure continued success. I look forward to working with Ray for many years to come as part of our senior leadership team."

"We are privileged and excited to have Ray join our team," said Phil Busey, chairman and CEO of the Busey Group. "He brings considerable experience in government contracting and logistics to the companies after 30 years in the aerospace industry with Hughes, Rockwell and Boeing."

Ray and his family recently moved back to Oklahoma City after spending several years in St. Louis.
