AN OWNER-CENTRIC APPROACH
You’ve built a business that contributes to your community and reflects your values. You want to be confident that your employees and clients will continue to be treated well. You may even want to stay on and direct your brand, continuing as General Manager or moving to a part-time advisory role.
We commit to maintaining your founding approach by keeping decision-making and leadership local. We love it when former owners continue to run local operations or give other support, and we welcome your involvement in choosing new leadership if you decide to step back into retirement.
THEIR STORIES
MEET FORMER OWNERS WHO’VE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE
DARRIN MCCLARY
OWNER | RLP Mechanical
When Darrin joined RLP a decade before its partnership with Midway, he saw RLP as "a smaller company that took very good care of employees at all levels and very good care of customers." He still sees it that way.
DAVID BRUMLEY
Owner | RLP Mechanical
When considered selling, David "had a lot of fear about losing people, especially the key people that...put us in a position to sell. They're good people.” RLP lost no one due to the acquisition, and David was able to play a key role in helping promote a new General Manager prior to his stepping into retirement.
DAVE CAMPBELL
OWNER | ENTEK
Dave has been with Entek for more than 30 years, working his way from technician to owner before partnering with Midway. Read his reflections on his career and how he and other Midway partners are "just pleased they found a group that cares about its employees and takes care of the team.”
PAUL RADU
FOUNDER | P&L Johnson
Announcing the sale to his team was challenging. “I was petrified in that moment,” he says. “I'm choking up, but Midway leadership really smoothed it out and gave everybody a warm and fuzzy feeling about how things were going to proceed.” He feels like Midway valued the local legacy he had built, exemplified by including him in the post-acquisition leadership.
