A local multigenerational family business

The crew at Trombley Redi Mix recently upgraded their equipment, but not before they gave the old machine one last try while honoring a longtime employee. Now that we are in the 2020s, computers are used for almost everything and now they can help mix concrete.

The 70’s ?

Just last week, Trombley’s asked Stewart Adams if he would come back to work an extra shift and prepare the last few yards of concrete on the old plank. Mr. Adams retired earlier in the year after dedicating 48 years of his life to the company through several transfers of ownership. Stewart started with Trombley’s in 1973 and the board was installed in 1979. Two things you don’t see a lot these days are employees and equipment for decades!

Mr. Adams delivered concrete for Trombley’s for two decades, then when the ’90s rolled around he became responsible for shipping the concrete, working on the old plank every day. Trombley’s decided to honor Adams and asked him to regroup the last few yards and close the board. In an age when people seem to change jobs as often as they change vehicles, working with one company for almost 50 years is an incredible achievement and a testament to the dedication of a certain generation.

Congratulations to Stewart Adams on his retirement and for receiving the honor of ending an era before a new one begins. Great job from the folks at Trombley Redi Mix for finding a thoughtful way to show their appreciation to a man who has dedicated his life to the business.
