Hello Friends, Partners, and Colleagues,
We would like to take a moment to announce some recent changes within Williams Forestry and Associates.
First and foremost, we would like to congratulate Rick Williams on his recent retirement and thank him for his vision and dedication in creating the company that we are today. Rick and Jim Sturges started Williams Forestry and Associates with the idea of providing a full turnkey company to their clients that thought through every detail of tree planting to ensure that we offered only the highest quality planting and success on every site that we stepped foot on.
Rest assured that Rick has left Williams Forestry in good hands, and most of you already know the new owners of the company. We have all played a very large role in making Williams Forestry and Associates a leader in our industry, and have every intention of continuing the same excellence in services that Williams Forestry and Associates is known and respected for.
We are pleased to introduce the new ownership team at Williams Forestry!
- Jim Sturges who has been Rick’s sole partner in the business since 1996 has taken on the role of President of the company.
- Seth Yoho, our Appalachian Regional Manager has stepped into the role of Senior Vice President.
- John Eshleman, our Northeast Regional Manager has assumed the role of Vice President.
- Neil Andrews is our new Mid-Atlantic Regional Manager.
- Christian Storer is our new Operations Manager.
While some titles and positions may have changed, we as the new owners will never stop striving to provide the absolute best service we can to all of our clients and partners. We are very excited for what the future holds for our company and are looking forward to this next chapter!
