They’re introducing an innovative seminar – Big Creek’s Contractor College, a free event focused on relevant topics applying to running a construction business.
“Over the years I have learned many things, sometimes the hard way, but preferably, have had mentors, family, friends and colleagues share knowledge. I was able to apply much of this information to the success of our business and feel fortunate to have a chance to share with others. I wish that when we started, we could have attended an event like the Contractor College,” stated Lud McCrary, Co-Founder of Big Creek Lumber.
The event will on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 at the Steinbeck Center in Salinas, which is a central location between their five yards. All Contractors are invited and welcome. “We feel very fortunate to still be in business after nearly 70 years. Much of our success has been due our ties to our employees, customers and communities. Because they’ve contributed so much to our success, we’re excited to provide this service to help our customers prosper,” stated Ellen Rinde, Vice President of Big Creek Lumber. In order to attend, advanced registration is required and due to space requirements attendance is limited to the first 200 RSVP’s.
