Uniformity is Key. In order to be able to fully realize the true potential of SX.e inventory control, it is necessary to bring everything together under one roof. Having two systems is akin to having two companies. In order for our union to be complete, it is absolutely necessary to have one system. If not, we would be maintaining an unhealthy divide.
I have been with Lansing Building Products 15-1/2 years. Initially hired as Warehouse Manager in Newport News VA. I have worked with warehouse manager training and development and been involved with the flagship branch for TWL roll out. My current roll is Operations Specialist assigned to TWL support and training, as well as conducting final interview process for potential new Warehouse Managers company.
On a day to day I am involved with TWL support, assisting branches with problem resolution, inventory reconciliation, and troubleshooting TWL process breakdown within the branch. This involves both on site visits as well as remote assistance.
My Current involvement with SX.e training involves all aspects of cycle count training, material handling, pick tickets, transfers, inventory control, shipping feedback, day’s work process from an operations aspect. The most important thing I have learned so far is that there is a lot of excitement centered around bringing two systems programs together under one process. everyone I have worked with has shown themselves to be not only genuinely receptive, but truly excited for the future. This brings a sense of value and worth to everything I do throughout the day.
Ultimately I believe that SX.e is more user friendly than our previous system so there is that to look forward to. But also having Lansing NE be on the same platform as the rest of Lansing BP feels like the final step in joining the Lansing family!
Just over a year, I was hired as the Customer Care Manager for Harvey and I have maintained that role.
I oversee the Customer Care Department which is currently made up of 30 total associates including myself. Since the department was new, a lot of my time last year was spent building out the department, developing processes, KPI reporting, and metrics and measurements. Once the systems conversion is complete, I am looking forward to focusing more of my energy on the management and development of the Customer Care staff and looking for ways we can expand on the superior service that Lansing customers have come to expect.
I am part of the Lansing NE Core team which is made up of a small group of operations team members dedicated to insuring that all those involved in the conversion have the support and tools they need for a successful cutover. I will be present in the branches throughout each go-live to offer any assistance that I can based on what I have learned over the last several weeks about SX.e and Delivering Excellence.
I am super excited to see the changes happening with the Lansing Learning system. I think the updated modules are more user friendly and give everyone a better understanding of how these systems truly operate. I look forward to continuing integrating all of the branches into the same level of operational excellence.
I have been with Lansing for 4 Years. I started as BOM at our MELB branch, then moved to BOM Support Specialist. I am also a member of the TWL Team and Lansing Foundation Advisory Board.
My main task is training new BOMs. I Offer operational support in many areas including training, trouble shooting, and DQ compliance. I also conducting training seminars over Microsoft Teams for the Harvey Group.
I have been fortunate enough to be trained on the EPAK software and have created many modules this year including DQ compliance, GUI navigation, OEROB & Cash handling, and UTA Transactions.
The ability for our Northeast team to leverage the vast experience of Lansing associates is exciting to say the least. We have been presented with an opportunity to adopt a new process and improve how we serve the customer; that is something to look forward to with optimism. Successful completion of SX.e implementation means all of Lansing will be “speaking the same language” as far as systems go. This will enable us to function as key contributors in a nationwide team and carry out the Lansing Mission.
I joined the Lansing team in May 2020 when we merged our distribution businesses. Prior to that, my previous roles within Harvey Building Products have included Inside Sales and Management Trainee at our Waltham branch.
The majority of my day is spent improving the branch associate experience with our ERP system. This is accomplished by direct training with associates, documenting standard operating procedures, as well as enhancing how SAP functions. In addition, I analyze data related to KPI metrics and other critical branch operations.
My role within Operations has given me the opportunity to join the SX.e Core Team preparing Northeast associates to transition systems in the coming weeks. Thanks to the diligent efforts of the Richmond Home Office, my team and I have had numerous trainings covering topics such as Point-of Sale process, Advanced Order Entry, Cycle Counts, and ICRON. Each training has given me a thorough understanding of Lansing process, which will enable my team to better assist all Northeast associates while we implement our new system.
about Lansing?The people and camaraderie between everyone.
I have been at Lansing since 2002. I have had several roles at Lansing including Accounts Payable, Finance Specialist, Assistant Controller and Controller.
I spend a majority of my days working on various areas centered around the P&L. This includes projecting into the future, reviewing previous months, or special ad hoc projects when needed. I assist the branch associates with request regarding P&L questions and projecting future expected cost with potential changes. I work with my team to help improve processes and procedures that will speed up production or dive deeper into an area that allows better visibility.
When I think of the culture of Lansing I think of family, integrity, and respect. I feel associates at Lansing show respect and treat each other as extended family. I think it is why Lansing is a great place to work and will continue to attract great people to join our team.
I think for myself it is more than one particular moment and is more a collection of meeting milestones during my years at Lansing, both for the entire company and within the Finance department. Since my first day at Lansing, we had a goal of $500 million in sales, which happened in December 2017.
I am excited to see two great companies join together that share many similarities but also have differences that will allow each to improve as one.
about Harvey?What I love best is being part of a team that listens - everyone has a chance to be heard. It's through our experiences and feedback at every level of the organization that helps us grow stronger. I also I love our commitment to Associate development. Whether you've been a part of the Harvey family for 2 years or 20, our leadership recognizes talent and provides avenues for development and mentoring.
I'm almost at the 7-year mark. I joined the company in 2013 as Brand Communications Manager focusing on advertising, web and PR. In spring 2017, I became the Marketing Manager for Harvey Manufacturing, and then was promoted to Director of Marketing in December 2018.
Every day my team and I are focused on ways to make it easier for customers to do business with us - from generating leads, creating sales tools, and promoting our eCommerce and marketing programs. With so many ideas from the team and our Associates in the field, I usually spend my time prioritizing resources and providing direction to the team so we can execute on the things that help drive positive experiences and results for our customers.
The Harvey culture is welcoming (like family!) and filled with friendly, hard-working people devoted to our customers and their success. Harvey is the first company I've worked for that truly "walks the walk" when it comes to taking care of the customer.
Starting our annual Homes for Our Troops fundraiser in 2013 is the one project that will always be special to me. But in recent weeks, it's how our MarCom team has worked together to respond to challenges posed by COVID-19. They've worked so hard creating and executing messaging, building and promoting tools, resources, and webinars, and reaching out to associates and customers to learn how we can support them better right now. Feedback from the field has been so appreciative, and as a manager, that makes me incredibly proud.
Both Harvey and Lansing have unique marketing programs we offer customers. The sharing and innovation that will result from our partnership is huge! Together, I believe that we have the potential to build industry-leading programs that will drive customer satisfaction and overall growth for the company. I'm excited to be part of that future!
about Lansing?I love seeing people learn, grow, and prosper in their careers at Lansing. As a Regional for over 25 years, I derived great satisfaction in finding talented people who were looking for a great company where they could work hard and find real success.
I passed the 30 year mark in February. I was hired in Richmond, VA as an Outside Sales rep, moved to Raleigh, NC as a Branch Manager in 1991, then on to Washington, D.C. as a Branch Manager in a new acquisition in 1992. We began expanding in the DC/Baltimore area in 1994, and I became a Regional at that point, and remained so until I moved to the Home Office in January, 2018. The geographies changed many times over the years, but the dedication and culture that our people demonstrate every day remained constant.
The training department is relatively new, so there are a lot of gaps to fill in our personnel development pathways. Most of my time is spent creating programs for associate development and coaching newer associates, particularly Branch Managers, on building a keen understanding of our business and the industry. I also work with suppliers on product knowledge training and travel regularly within the branches.
To use an appropriate word for these times: Infectious! There is a true sense of caring for each other and our customers and suppliers that is pervasive. Lansing associates are quick to lend a hand, quick with a smile or a pat on the back, and genuinely care for others. I have often said that not everyone is suited for work at Lansing, but for those it suits, they could hardly work anywhere else.
No question, it is seeing people grow with the company, raise their families, buy houses, and prosper through their hard work. We have so many dedicated people, and to witness, and play a small part, in their development and ultimate success has been my biggest reward.
As a Regional in what we misguidedly called the North East, we always itched to grow into the PA, NJ, NY, markets and beyond. Now we will have the opportunity to do a giant cannonball into New England rather than tiptoe into the water. We will be going to market with the strongest team of associates in the industry, a culture rich in history and success, and an unbridled desire to compete. Bring it on.
about Harvey?I really enjoy and appreciate the people I get to work with every day at Harvey. They genuinely want to help each other. Coming from a completely different industry would have been a lot more challenging for me if it weren't for the willingness of Harvey associates to share their knowledge, experiences, and ideas. It helped to reduce my learning curve and allowed me to begin to develop relevant learning content more quickly.
I have been with Harvey for just over two years as a Sales Training Specialist. In this role I have been fortunate to be able to apply my passion for learning and development from searching and selecting a Learning Management System (LMS), to implementing and managing that system as well as to using my instructional design and facilitation skills to design, develop, and deliver learning experiences for our sales associates.
My days can vary depending on what project I am working on. When I first started, I spent a lot of time in the field riding along with sales associates to learn the business. Each day is different but a lot of it is spent working with subject-matter-experts, designing and developing learning programs, managing the LMS, creating sales job aids and occasionally facilitating a face-to-face or virtual class.
The culture at Harvey is like no other place I've worked. It truly is a team atmosphere where everyone works together to do what is best for the customer. Many associates have spent their entire careers at Harvey and have grown with the company, which speaks volumes to their passion for the business and their overall commitment to the company. It also demonstrates Harvey's commitment to investing in the development and growth of its employees.
My proudest moment at Harvey so far was getting the final approval for a Learning Management System. A lot of hours were spent researching and comparing various systems to find one that would meet the needs of the entire company for learning and development initiatives. The LMS has allowed the company to scale learning and development initiatives, roll out formalized onboarding and learning paths, and to track learning progress throughout the Harvey Building Products family of companies.
I am excited about the Lansing culture and more specifically, their strong focus on building a learning culture. I have had the opportunity to explore some of Lansing's learning and development programs and to meet with the folks responsible for designing them and am eager to work with this team and the entire Lansing team.
about Lansing?People live the Mission Statement, especially respect for associates, customers and suppliers. All companies have a Mission Statement, but we’re expected to know and live ours.
Three years, all in my current role as VP - HR & Risk Management
Providing leadership to the HR / Safety / Risk Management team, and providing expertise on a variety of issues to branch and executive leadership. I also spend a lot of time making sure that Lansing is in compliance with auditors and regulators.
Familial. You are allowed to earn respect based on the kind of person that you are, not the position that you hold. I think this is a characteristic unique to Lansing and just a few other companies.
Observing the people that I work with grow in their jobs, take on more responsibility, obtain national certifications, and succeed at a high level.
The opportunity to add more talent and expertise to an already high-performing organization.
about Harvey?I love having the opportunity to collaborate with people in all areas of the company including operations, sales, marketing, and finance. You never feel like you are on your own island and we all support each other.
It will be 21 years in August. My roles have included Inventory Manager, Corporate Commodity Manager, as well as being a part of the SAP Implementation Team in 2010. I have been in my most recent role as Senior Materials Manager since June 2019.
My days vary but usually include inventory management, vendor meetings, and working with our branches and sales teams to ensure our purchasing team continues to support them. I am lucky to have a talented group of people on my team that make my job easier.
Two words - camaraderie and teamwork. Everyone wants to do what is right for the company and ultimately our customers. You always feel like you are part of a team.
My proudest moment has been building a team that is able to adjust and persevere no matter what challenges we face - system and personnel changes, vendor and weather-related issues and most recently the challenge of COVID-19.
I am excited to build new business relationships, share best practices, and help the new organization grow even stronger.
about Lansing?Since my first day at Lansing, I knew when the company says that family is first, it is sincere. I have seen time and again over the years how Lansing Building Products supports associates in really caring for their families. Family first at LBP is not just lip service; it's real.
In my nearly 24 years at Lansing I have been in the Operations Dept. in the Home Office. I have worked in rebates, operational procedures, and training. I have experienced several acquisitions and system projects like migrating to INFOR and TWL (barcoding). I have been in my current role since 2005 overseeing purchasing, central operations, inventory management, ops training, rebates, pricing, and TWL. It has been a great ride with some really exciting days ahead!
The best way to describe a typical day is supporting the fabulous team of people that I am privileged to work with. We discuss issues, do problem solving, review analysis of data, and make decisions together that will help LBP achieve its goals.
There is no question that Lansing is driven by the mission statement. Superior service, Respect, and Excellence are at the heart of every action and decision. We work hard for our customers and for each other, and we hold ourselves to high standards of performance. We have a lot of fun along the way as well.
My proudest moments are seeing our operations associates succeed and excel. From the powerful presentations they give at the National Operations Meeting, to being promoted to new and challenging positions, to crushing the audit or physical inventory with an A grade—nothing makes me more proud.
I have known Harvey associates for years and have always been impressed with the caliber of people and level of professionalism. I have listened and learned from these individuals at American Wholesale meetings and I look forward to the sharing of best practices between our companies to become the powerhouse in the industry.
about Harvey?What I love most is meeting and working with all the great employees at Harvey Building Products. I'm very impressed by the passion employees have about safety and the respect everyone has for one another.
I've been with Harvey Building Products for almost four months now as the EHS Manager for Distribution Centers. Although new to the company, I've had 25+ years of experience in both the aerospace and gun manufacturing industry working in the environmental, health and safety field.
Most of my time is spent supporting branches to ensure they have the resources and tools necessary to do their jobs safely.
The culture at Harvey is unlike anything I've ever experienced in my career. The respect and pride everyone has for the customers, each other and the product is incredible.
My proudest moment so far was joining this great company and seeing it expand into an even greater one. Also, working with a team of people who have worked so diligently to keep up with the ever-changing "new normal" we now are experiencing is impressive.
I'm excited to see two great companies with the best quality products in the industry come together to have the most extensive presence across North America.
about Lansing?I love the feeling of family at Lansing, the folks I work with every day are my extended family.
I've been with Lansing for almost 18 years! I've always been in Operations, but I started as a temp setting up product codes in the system. About a year after I was hired, I moved into the Training & Compliance Specialist role, then Inventory Supervisor and finally Operations Manager. Even though my title hasn't changed in the past several years, my role has continued to evolve, which I love. I also serve as president of the Lansing Foundation Advisory Board.
Prior to the pandemic I spent a significant portion of time in our branches training and implementing Total Warehouse Logistics (TWL), our inventory barcoding system. Lately, most of my time is spent developing training content for TWL and updating operations processes and procedures documentation.
Outside of our mission of Respect, Service and Excellence, I believe that our culture is rooted in hard work and honesty.
When I was asked to develop and manage the Central Operations department.
I’m excited for the opportunities to learn how another awesome company operates day to day and to work with new folks that come from a similar background. I think we can learn a lot from each other.
about Harvey?A lot of things! Most importantly it's the people I work with everyday. Our team is the best in the industry. It's a great feeling, knowing you work with some of the smartest, hardest working folks in the industry with an unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction.
I will celebrate 17 years with Harvey in July. I started right out of college as a Sales Trainee, then Outside Sales Representative, Senior Sales Rep, Sales Manager, Regional Director and now I am in the role of Regional Sales Director.
Working alongside my team to strategize ways we can win the market and supporting their efforts to promote the growth and success of our customers. If our customers grow and win, so do we!
Harvey's success is due to the relentless pursuit of customer satisfaction shared by all associates. This is the foundation that everything was built from and is still alive and well today. It means going the extra mile, finding the best solutions to a problem and ensuring we are the best business partner possible to our customers.
There are so many, but meeting Marine Corporal David Noblit through Homes For Our Troops stands out. I met David and his family during a Homes For Our Troops volunteer day in Pennsylvania and had the opportunity to tour his new home built with donations from Harvey and our customers. It was incredible to see the positive impact this organization had on their lives. I was honored to be a small part of that volunteer day and see the hugely positive impact HFOT makes in peoples lives. It made me extremely proud to represent Harvey associates and customers at this event. I will never forget it.
Having met some the Lansing team through the American Wholesale best practices meetings, I was always impressed by their professionalism, knowledge and success within the industry. I am excited to see what we will accomplish with all the talent and experience we now share. I cannot wait to see the tools and strategies we develop to change the industry and lead Lansing to even more growth.
about Lansing?What I love about Lansing is equal opportunity! In my 12yrs. in this industry, Lansing has shown me that hard work and dedication is recognized to any associate.
I have been with Lansing for a little over 6 years via the ASI acquisition. I was an Outside Sales Rep for 5 years at the Tampa Branch and then was promoted to my current position as the Sarasota Branch Manager.
Most of my day consists of constant communication with my team and establishing stronger relationships with new and existing customers.
Our culture strives for a family feeling amongst colleagues and customers. I also feel that part of our culture is the drive to keep the most respect and best service to our customers.
I have had many proud moments with Lansing. My first moment was the first time I won Sales Rep of the Year! My most recent as a Branch Manager has been watching my team come together as a family.
What I am most excited about with this partnership is the growth of our families and seeing what we can accomplish together in the future.
about Harvey?I love the relationships I have built over the years with my coworkers, customers, and vendors. Everyone supports each other on a daily basis and works together towards satisfying the customers' needs and satisfaction.
I have been in Outside Sales with Harvey for 23 years. Prior to that I competed with Harvey for 20 years. When Viking Building Products, where I was Branch and Sales Manager, was sold to ABC Supply, Tony Longo, Sr. VP at Harvey, reached out to me to come on board, and I have been here ever since.
I see my customers at job sites and/or their offices in face-to-face meetings. I make it a point to be in front of my key accounts at least once each week. In this time of COVID-19, it has been a challenge as I, of course, have had to change my personal meetings to telephone only.
I have always felt part of a large team at Harvey. From the upper management to every level of employees, people work together toward the common goal of supporting our customers.
My proudest moment, other than reaching my sales goals consistently, happened over the past couple of years when I was asked to mentor new sales associates as part of the onboarding program. I was proud to be asked to guide them with my years of experience and to answer their questions about how to work with customers and navigate the Company's functions. Some of them, who I no longer mentor officially, still contact me periodically for advice.
Joining with a company that has the same philosophies of customer satisfaction and respect for their employees will make the change feel seamless.
about Lansing?I love our PEOPLE. Most important asset by far. I love our Culture and that it is driven by our Mission Statement. I love that we "live" our Mission Statement every day in helping our customers.
I have been with Lansing a total of 9 years. I started in Chattanooga, TN as Outside Sales, was promoted to Manager in Wilmington, NC, and was fortunate to open the Greensboro, NC location. I left in 1996 and spent many years on the vendor side of our business and was glad to "find my way home" in 2015 in Raleigh, NC.
I'm Outside Sales, so I spend the majority of my time away from the branch, helping existing customers, and equally as important, finding new "friends" and selling them something.
Our culture is pretty unique and I credit the Lansing family for that, primarily Mr. Chris Lansing and his strong leadership over the years. Hunter has taken full charge and is continuing and improving his father's vision for our company. I have worked for several good companies over the years and found good people at all of them. I have NEVER worked for a company that was more driven by its Culture/Mission Statement (I believe they are synonymous) than Lansing Building Products.
This is pretty easy. It was when I returned in 2015. I said earlier I "found my way home" and that is truly how I feel. We are not a "perfect" company, but we try really hard to be every day.
I have heard of Harvey for many years. I used to travel up North, and for years have heard Lansing and Harvey thrown around in the same sentence as similar companies. I am excited to see the synergies that will come from joining our companies at every level. Our people, our cultures, our technologies, our future. Welcome to ALL the new associates and if I can help you, please feel free to call me anytime. 919-818-3855
about Harvey?Harvey is all around a great company to work for, filled with GREAT people in its organization. They offer a competitive compensation package, generous PTO and a good benefits package. They are committed to providing their employees with the tools and training necessary to be successful in this ever changing market.
I just completed my 5th year with the company. I started in East Haven as an Inside Sales Rep and in July of 2019 I was transferred to the Manchester, CT branch as Office Supervisor. At the beginning of April I started a new journey as the Office Supervisor in Waterford, CT.
Sales & Sales Support. I assist the Inside Sales Team and our Contractors with orders and quotes. I help to drive sales and maximize every opportunity that comes our way. This is achieved through ensuring we offer competitive pricing, checking in with our customers often to see what they need and how we can help and staying trained and up to date on the products we sell.
I would describe the culture as one based on service and respect. As a company we strive to provide the best customer SERVICE in the industry. We value and RESPECT our customers, vendors and fellow associates. I have always felt that my voice is heard by all members of management and that my opinion matters to the company. It's a great place to come to work every day.
My proudest moment to date was the outpouring of well wishes, support and thanks that I received when I was transferred out of the Manchester branch. Helping the team grow into confident, successful and self-empowered associates was a defining moment in my career. Knowing I made an impact in people's lives and that I was a valued member of their management team is something I am beyond proud of and will take with me in the next steps of my career.
I am excited to watch two companies, both with strong roots and a large presence in the marketplace, become the best in the industry. Both companies share similar values and striving for excellence, showing respect and providing top notch customer service, which I believe will make us unstoppable and I look forward to being part of this team!
about Lansing?The People. They are not just coworkers or customers, but they are considered family. It is encouraging to know that you can go to work everyday and have a work family behind you that is going to uplift and encourage you and help you get through any obstacles that you may face throughout the day.
I have been an Inside Sales Rep with Lansing for almost 2 years.
As an Inside Sales Rep, I spend most of my day working directly with customers, ensuring that they have the material that they need to make their jobs and lives easier. This can entail completing quotes and purchase orders, completing take offs, or finding out and sharing any information that they may need to know about the products that we offer.
Positive and respectful. Our job as a company is to provide our customers with what they need to be successful. This not only includes physical material for them to complete their jobs, but also positivity, respect, and encouragement. This is what sets us apart from many other companies. By showing our employees and customers respect, we are able to provide them with the best possible service, which in turn allows us to achieve excellence.
Our growth at the Savannah Branch. We have recently moved into a larger warehouse and in doing so, we have had the opportunity to stock more material and hire more employees. This in turn has allowed us to provide better service to our customers.
The growth as a company. This can lead to many new opportunities for our future and adds many great new employees and customers to our family.
about Harvey?Definitely the people and the relationships throughout the whole company. The ease and availability to be able to communicate with everyone from the CEO, Vice President, on down, plus the willingness that they have to try something new and different to let us take ownership of our results.
I started my Harvey career in a snow storm, January 31, 2000 at the Wilkes-Barre, PA branch. In my 20+ years, I started as an Inside Sales Rep, was promoted to Office Manager, then Branch Manager in Bethlehem, PA and back to Wilkes-Barre Branch as Branch Manager where I have been since.
Doing whatever is necessary to help grow our business and ensure the branch is operating as smoothly as possible. Developing action plans to stimulate sales, reviewing reports, partnering with customers to help grow their business, ensuring all employees are safe, and treated fairly, along with many different tasks throughout the day. There is always something new and challenging.
We pride ourselves on service, and work towards a common goal of growing our business. We strive to create a team atmosphere to ensure a safe, ethical, enjoyable work environment, while looking to improve each and every day.
Working as a team to improve our sales in the branch and the zone. Also providing employees and peers any knowledge that I have to help them in any way.
I am thrilled that these two great companies came together. The philosophy and outlook towards business and how the employees are treated aligns with my beliefs--respect, service, and achieving excellence. The strength that we will have as a company and being best in class will set us apart from our competition.
about Lansing?The company culture is personally very enriching in many ways, and it is the deep relationships fostered over the years that I love most. By living our Mission Statement, we are able to attract and retain extremely talented associates throughout the organization. We are challenged consistently to be at our best and tested daily, and in a sense it feels like family.
Over 22 years ago I relocated from Upstate NY and started my career in 1997 as an Outside Sales Trainee in Atlanta, GA. Two months later, I was called upon to take an Outside Sales territory in Columbia, SC. After successfully growing the market and with further development, I was given the opportunity to become a Branch Manager in Newnan, GA in 2002. A few years later in 2005, I was given more responsibility in an Assistant Regional Manager capacity with multiple branch responsibilities in the greater Atlanta metro market until 2012. I have been in a Regional Manager role since the start of 2013 and have managed multiple branches in several states. The role I currently serve is as the Regional Vice President - East, as of January 2018. It has been a wonderful journey that continues to evolve.
Primarily developing and supporting my teams in all capacities. Always with a proactive approach in mind, we never know what challenges await us around each turn. We have to be prepared to overcome obstacles using sound judgement and act accordingly to ensure our overall success. Our people are the foundation for our success, so without question helping them achieve the best version of themselves is top priority.
A highly competitive family based culture of winning with the very best people in the industry. Accountability is the measuring stick for winning cultures. We don't make excuses for falling short, rather we find ways to constantly improve. Whatever your ambitions may be, they can be achieved through hard work and dedication to the company and your career.
There are many. Being a successful contributor to this company over the years, not just from just a sales perspective, but developing our future leaders gives me a great sense of pride. Also, eclipsing the 500M sales mark in 2017 was very emotional, as a result of the grit we displayed through even the toughest times of the great recession.
Collaboration, the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry in a unique geography with different products and programs. Joining forces with a very respected Harvey BP, makes us even more powerful and certainly one of the very best distribution companies in North America. Our synergies will create a 1+1=3 effect and therefore continue to provide a best in class experience for our associates and customers.
about Harvey?I love the relationships that I have built throughout my 25-year journey with Harvey. The interactions with our customers, fellow employees, and leadership has impacted my life in so many positive ways.
I started with the company in 1994 - straight out of college. During this time I have been an inside sales representative, office manager, and branch manager in several Connecticut branches, including Berlin and Manchester. I was lucky enough to come back to my original "home" in East Haven as the branch manager in 2007.
Every day is filled with new challenges and adventures. Whether it be bringing in new accounts, aiding in the growth of our already loyal customer base, or helping to mold our associates into new and upcoming managers, the job is always fulfilling.
The culture at Harvey is a unique mix of service, loyalty, and family. The interaction between staff and customers and other locations brings a balance of combined unity and dedication.
There have been several proud moments throughout my career, but I would have to say that I personally derive the most pride from watching my staff members escalate their careers to management levels.
I am so excited to be part of a family owned company that is on a national scale. This is truly what the original Harvey dream was when I first started with the company so many years ago, and now we are here!
about Lansing?Being able to work for such a great company for 30+ years and still enjoy coming to work every day.
I started my career with Ted Lansing Building Products in October of 1989. Over the past 30+ years I have been a CDL Driver, Assistant Manager, Inside Sales & Warehouse Supervisor.
I start my day at 6:00 AM doing Cycle Counts. Throughout the day I help our customers, assist my co-workers and receive inventory from our suppliers. I enjoy making my co-workers and customers laugh and smile.
Lansing takes care of its employees with fair pay and incentives. It's a great place to work!
Our warehouse is one of the best organized and clean in the company. We are often given the opportunity to be the first to implement new systems (TWL). We usually train other associates from different branches.
It creates an opportunity for growth. The addition of great employees from Harvey will make Lansing stronger.
about Harvey?The people have always been my favorite thing about Harvey. From my very first day, I noticed a culture of teamwork and respect that everyone had for one another. This culture was present at all levels from corporate to the warehouse, and every person was considered equally important.
15 years. I have worked as a Warehouse Worker/Driver, CPD/Millwork Driver, Shuttle Driver, and Warehouse Supervisor in Manchester, NH, Nashua, NH, and Woburn, MA. I have also worked on the Operations Team for the annual tradeshow.
Working with our team in the branch. I observe, assist, and organize the warehouse staff, equipment, and available resources to ensure that our customers receive the best service possible.
One that includes development and improvement, by always working with our team to be the best that we can be. This culture is present in all of the Harvey branches, and I have traveled to most of them when I was a driver of the Millwork truck.
Being part of the marketing team that had to transport and build the 2020 Tradeshow. The team overcame many logistical obstacles along the way, but was able to come together with help from other employees, to be successful.
The partnership. I have the opportunity to be part of such a historical merger where two great companies join forces, to become the premier building products supplier in the country. I'm looking forward to the endless possibilities in the future.
about Lansing?I love that Lansing BP has provided the opportunity to take care of and raise my family and the peace of mind that it brings.
Going on 18 years - Training professional drivers, role model, and an example to other associates.
Working hard and trying to help others.
People loving people - Diverse crowd of caring and committed individuals.
The proudest moment would be being recognized for the hard work.
Knowing I'll have a job, seeing the future and the growth that I see continuing to take place.
about Harvey?The people. The associates and customers in all areas of the company. It's truly a pleasure to work with these individuals on a daily basis who make it an enjoyable place to come to work everyday.
I began my career with Harvey Building Products in 2002 with a warehouse assignment. Over the course of the last 17 years, I've held various roles of increasing responsibility in multiple Harvey locations. Previous positions included: Warehouse Worker, Class B Driver, Boom Truck Operator, ISR, MIT, and Branch Manager. And now most recently have taken on a new role as RDO.
Most of my day is spent in the field, meeting with customers at their place of business or job site and visiting branches, interacting with associates, customers, and vendors.
I would describe the culture at Harvey as a team atmosphere that is fast paced and friendly, is challenging, rewarding and is always looking to improve.
My proudest moment is seeing someone I worked with or hired, be promoted and flourish in their new role. The other moment that comes to mind is during 2019 I had an opportunity to play golf with wounded veterans at a HFOT (Homes For Our Troops) golf tournament. It was an amazing experience and I was humbled and honored to meet and interact with such amazing individuals.
Having an opportunity to join a family-led organization focused on people (associates, customers, & vendors), providing best in class service, and achieving extraordinary things.
about Lansing?The culture. Our people make our culture. Everyone that I have come to know within Lansing Building Products, I share a common ground with. We stand and believe in the mission of Lansing Building Products at work and when we leave at the end of the day. The values of our mission statement connect us in a way that has made many of us lasting friends. I am honored to be a part of a company that believes in their people and gives a compass to a way of life in and out of the showroom.
I started with Lansing in July of 2014. I was hired on as the Inside Sales Rep, and 9 months later I was presented with the opportunity to take the role as Branch Operations Manager.
Most of my time is spent working directly with customers, quoting material, doing take-offs, talking with vendors, and doing the things needed to help our contractors deliver on their promises. There is a lot that is done in a day as an Operations Manager, but the majority of it, for me, is making sure our customers are getting what they need, when they need it. It is what I truly love about my job.
Our people live and breath it. It is something that sets us apart from our competition. What I learned quickly from Lansing is that their people truly matter to them. We treat everyone with respect, deliver on our promise, and go beyond the call of duty when the time calls for it. MISSION POSSIBLE!
The team. It is hard to say that there is a proudest moment, but right now I am the most proud of the team we have in Oklahoma City (OKCY). We are family.
Growth and joining with a group of associates who have the same core values that we have here at Lansing. It is an exciting adventure to be a part of and I am eager to see what else the future holds for us at LBP.
about Harvey?I enjoy working with people that make me feel appreciated. I love the opportunities I have gotten at Harvey and coworkers who care about each other.
16 years - Warehouse Worker, Gutter Truck Driver, Class B Delivery Driver, Crane Operator, Class A Shuttle Driver.
I'm responsible for the material transfers between branches in my zone. When I am not doing that I support the warehouse by helping with customers or picking up deliveries.
Harvey is a company that cares about employees. They are always willing to help - team-oriented company.
Every time I got a license or endorsement is a proud moment.
I'm looking forward to being a part of a company that continues to grow and I'm excited to contribute with that growth.
about Lansing?Hands down, it's the people that I work with!
I've been at Lansing for 10 years. I started as the flatbed driver as my primary role and I've always worked in the warehouse.
Unloading trucks, pulling orders, receiving paperwork and shipping paperwork. Checking orders, making deliveries when needed and occasionally doing a ticket for a customer.
Family! Showing respect for our associates, customers and suppliers.
Besides being offered the Warehouse Manager position it had to be becoming a member of the Lansing Foundation!
Growth. The opportunity to expand into other areas and meet new people is always exciting. If it gives Lansing the ability to meet its financial goals, that's great for everybody.
about Harvey?I love the passion our associates have for the business and their connection to our customers. Nothing excites our team more than helping our customers win!
I have been at Harvey Building Products for over 40 years. I started in inside sales at the Waltham Branch before taking on a similar role in our manufacturing division. From there I grew my career by gaining experiences in a variety of roles as an Office Mgr, Plant Mgr, Marketing Mgr, GM, VP, Executive VP, President, and CEO. It has been a fantastic ride, and along the way, I have worked with the best people in our industry!
In my current role, I support our executive team in the development and achievement of our short and long term objectives. I keep in close touch with our sales and ops leaders, our vendors and customers, and various industry associations to maintain a pulse on the business. Basically, wherever I can apply my skills and experience to help our business win, that's where I will be on any given day!
Our culture is about working together as a team to make our customers successful, providing opportunities for associates, and being a good partner and solid citizen in our communities. If we do all these things well, we create a workplace that is both challenging and fun!
When I started with Harvey Building Products in 1979, our sales were about 35M. Since then, we have accomplished many goals and surpassed many key milestones, of which I am very proud. However, nothing makes me prouder than the money and support we have provided to the Homes For Our Troops organization, through the efforts and generosity of our associates and customers!
I see two very strong teams coming together with a sum even greater than their parts. For our associates, I see many opportunities for growth and new challenges. For our customers, I see a company large enough to offer the products and services they need to compete, supported by a culture that strives to exceed their expectations!
about Lansing?The people... hands down!
34 years, with many roles along the way: Outside Sales - Richmond; Branch Manager - Columbia, SC, Charleston, SC, and Richmond; Regional Manager - South Carolina and Eastern North Carolina; Corporate Sales Manager - Richmond; VP of Sales - Richmond; EVP / Chief Operating Officer - Richmond; EVP - Chief Sales Officer - Richmond
Working with Lansing's Regionals, Sales Team, and Home Office staff on all functions of the business.

Being able to be a small part of the transition of President between Chris and Hunter. Plus, seeing Chris and his wife Erlynn serve their church on a mission and entrusting Hunter and his team of homegrown talent with The Family business.
The opportunity to work with other great people in a part of the country we've been dreaming to be in for years.
about Lansing?Our people.
June will mark my 25th year with this Lansing Family. I began in Atlanta, GA as an Outside Sales Trainee - with a 90 day training program and not knowing which branch would give me my start. I was able to remain in Atlanta when a territory opened up, and I was moved into Outside Sales in September of '95. I was granted the opportunity to open a new greenfield location in Newnan, GA in the fall of '98. January 1st 2002 marked my first day as Regional Manager of our North Carolina branches. Over time, the regions changed in geography and number of branches, but I served in a Regional role until I stepped into the role of Chief Operations Officer in January of 2015.
My time is spent working on the first two bullets of Vision 2025. How do we make Lansing Best in Class to Work & Build a Career, and how do we provide a Best in Class Customer Experience? I spend time in our branches working with our teams on branch performance and training, and I spend time on the development of the structure and systems to make our work more efficient for ourselves and our customers.
We appreciate and respect each other and our customers. We are accountable. We are proud but hungry. We are driven. We are family.
I am most proud of the people that I have worked with and the success they have had over time.
For 124 combined years, these two organizations have thrived because of exceptional people and strong relationships. Over time, both organizations have taken slightly different paths to land where we are today and we now have the tremendous opportunity to give our combined associates and customers the best of what each organization has developed along the way.
about Harvey?All of the history – a history of developing long-lasting customer relationships, internally developing and promoting talent, and a track record for offering the best service in the Northeast.
I am in the midst of completing year 18. During this time, I was fortunate to spend 8 years in the Branches working as an Inside Sales rep, Office Supervisor, and Branch Manager. Since then, I have had numerous roles involving SAP/ERP development, Process Development, Internal Audit, and Branch Operations. All roles and responsibilities have allowed for me to learn from, and interact with, a lot of great people.
The best way to categorize how I spend the majority of my day is looking for opportunity - opportunity to provide the best possible outcome for our associates and customers. I do this by collaborating with associates throughout the Branch network, and across other departments, to identify areas to improve upon. Whether it is through coaching opportunities, process development, or delivering new technologies, we continuously strive to raise the bar of excellence.
The culture at Harvey is about getting the job done. It may not always be perfect, but in the end, our customers get a superior service experience which is a direct result of all of our associates strong efforts.
The day I started with Harvey - 7/15/02. Without that, I would not have been able to develop the relationships I have, realize team successes, and my own personal growth. I am fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to work with a lot of amazing people throughout my Harvey career and look forward to developing many new relationships.
Everything. This is the ideal outcome for Harvey Distribution associates - the ability to take the best of two great companies and create the exterior building products company of choice in the U.S.. The new opportunities that this partnership presents for both current Lansing and Harvey associates moving forward has me more invested than ever. I am so excited to listen, observe, and understand all about what makes Lansing such a great place to work - to learn from each other and achieve every goal of 'Mission Possible."
about Lansing?The people, the culture, the Mission Statement, the commitment to making a positive impact on people's lives.
I joined the Company in 2016 when our prior CFO retired after 20 years in the role.
I spend most of my time dealing with people in all aspects of our business. I enjoy the interaction, seeing people grow in their role and achieving success in their career.
Culture begins with values and for half a century Lansing and Harvey have stood for doing the right thing by their associates, customers and suppliers. This creates an environment where people care for one another and enjoy coming to work. Just look at how many long tenured associates both companies have - it is a testament to the enduring values and culture of Lansing and Harvey.
When I first joined Lansing I heard about the longtime dream of hitting $500 million in sales. Hitting the number was terrific, but the best part was seeing what the people of Lansing had worked for so long to achieve come to fruition. There will be many more moments like this for us in the future.
I have worked around mergers and acquisitions for my entire career but I have never seen two companies better suited to join together than Lansing and Harvey. The people and the cultures are so similar and it will be fun to see where we can go together.
