A local building supply company located in Asheville has been selling building materials since 1905. Over the course of time, the structure and ownership of the company has changed many times. In 2004, one location was flooded by the Swannanoa River causing catastrophic damage. Operations were set up in a section of a warehouse and operations continued on.
Shortly after the flood, the company was
purchased by the current owner who invested significantly by
constructing a new state-of-the-art showroom, sales center and deck
center. He has also invested in the well-being of his employees,
increasing the employee benefits package, creating promotional
opportunities, and partnering with Carolina HR Partners to receive
expert advice and services. These investments are paying off with
increased sales revenue and employee satisfaction. As
a result the company is well positioned to become the premier
building materials supplier in western North Carolina.
"I hired Steve because we wanted a more professional HR function. His straightforward style and organizational skills impressed me, and he was able to balance keeping his eyes on our employees and on what's best for our business. As a crisis manager he's the best of all the HR people I've ever known. We continue to work with Steve now with helping us put systems into place, and he's doing his usual thorough job of doing his homework and laying the groundwork before he implements."
