“We have a full-fledged R&D facility


in France that develops many different and unique products,” he said. “A focus on employee and leadership development, innovative thinking, the use of modern equipment and new technology will position Sully-Miller for future growth.”


Preserving its Family-Oriented Culture


While the ability to leverage global re- sources differentiates Sully-Miller from many of its competitors, the company remains firmly committed to preserving its longtime culture as a local, family-ori- ented business. Numerous second and third gen-


erations work there, and the average employee tenure is over 10 years, with many employees having between 25 and 50 years of service.


“Te tie to each other as well as the


organization runs really deep within our employees; I think that is one thing that sets us apart,” Boyd explained. “People come to Sully-Miller and build a career here. We have that family feel even though we are part of a large multinational com- pany. We care about our people, and our people care about our business.”


Building California’s Infrastructure Sully-Miller has built numerous note- worthy projects over the years in the Southern California region. Just a few recent examples include: • LAWA – LAX Taxiway D Extension, an $85 million, 16-month long project awarded in 2022


• Caltrans – Route 15 – Oakhill to Bear Valley Road, a $122 million project awarded in September 2021 representing the largest project undertaken by the company to date

a test track for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department represents a proj- ect delivery approach that it plans to pursue more of in the immediate future, according to Boyd. “Te collaborative approach to minimiz-


ing risk and building work in a partnership really appeals to us,” he said. “We continue to look for more opportunities to get into the alternate project delivery realm.”


Living its Core Values


As the company positions itself to grow and thrive into its second century in


business, it will continue to follow its core values of “caring, sharing and daring,” Boyd noted. “Caring is a fundamental value of our


corporate culture,” he explained. “Wheth- er it is self-care, care for our employees, for our customers and business partners or care for the environment and society, we are driven by the same duty to care.” Te company’s strong commitment to safety is a major part of this value, as illus- trated by Sully-Miller being recognized for the best safety record within Colas Group’s operations worldwide in 2022. Promoting diversity and teamwork is


represented in its core value of sharing. “We believe that multicultural diversity in terms of nationality, gender and thought, along with teamwork and cross disci- plinary bridges are a source of progress and new ideas,” said Boyd.
