As we come to the end of another year, it provides me an opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been over the past year, along with taking an introspective look as to where we’re headed as we move into 2022. 

As the year progressed, not only did we begin seeing a substantial increase in bidding opportunities with some of our existing clients, but through our marketing and sales efforts, we have been able to procure bidding and job opportunities with many new clients. 

During the year, we were “on the road” doing some industrial projects in Kansas, Arkansas, and Georgia for both new and existing customers. As somewhat of a diversion to our usual project scope, we also started construction on a new bank in Pryor, Oklahoma for RCB. We have been an RCB customer for many years and are excited to be a part of their growth in our community, along with constructing a building they will be proud of and able to showcase in the downtown Pryor area. 

I’m also excited to welcome my nephew, Marty Williams back to Williams Construction! Marty will be working with his brother, Chris, in our Business Development group as Manager of Sales. His business acumen will be an asset to the growth of Williams Construction and in our focus on new-client development. 

We start this new year with our core focus (“To improve the lives of our clients, employees, their families and the community”) always at the forefront, a strong backlog of work, a commitment to our marketing and sales strategy, along with continuing to maintain our high safety and quality standards.

Williams Construction will celebrate their 69th year of continued success in business during 2022. This success could not have been possible without the hard-working and talented employees (both past and present) that I have (and had) the opportunity to work with over the years. Their compassion and dedication to the company, the industry and our clients will continue to provide specialized and critical construction and maintenance services for many years to come. 

With every new year comes greater opportunities and challenges in our lives. I wish all our employees, clients, friends and families the courage, hope, health, and happiness for a safe and blessed New Year.
