The
growth of The Ashton Company could only be accomplished by having a capable
team of professional builders, four of whom are professional engineers,
guiding the growth.
W.R. (Bill) Vail, P.E., President
of The Ashton Company; G. Richard Ketchum, Secretary-Controller and Vice
President; and Brian Andrews, Vice President have all been with the company
for over twenty years. Similarly Gary Engman, Douglas Humphreys, P.E.
and Robert Jackson - all Vice Presidents - all have at least twelve years
of service with the company. The Ashton Company has its own work force
of approximately two hundred and fifty hourly and thirty-five salaried
employees, many of whom also have long service with the company.
The length of service of The
Ashton Company's site personnel should serve as assurance to clients that
their project will proceed with the most knowledgeable construction people
doing the actual work. Junior employees become experienced craftsmen through
the mentoring of those that have been with The Ashton Company for a long
time. The Ashton Company is one of the few general contractors that can
bring such exceptional human resources to a project. Ultimately, the client
benefits by having their job proceed in the most professional manner possible.
A sense of family is found
throughout The Ashton Company. A client of The Ashton Company will find
a wealth of qualified and innovative people, a project portfolio that
includes virtually every electrical, civil or mechanical challenge, and
the financial capability to complete a project.
