Have you met Bo? He is one of our premier Yard Foreman in the latest episode of “From the Yard – Kuiken Brothers Building Material Specialist Series.” Bo joined the Kuiken Brothers’ team by way of our acquisition of Elmwood Supply in 2003 – where he had worked the 8 years prior – and quickly became an invaluable member of the operations management team.

When the time came to build our leadership team for our Newark location, Bo was a clear choice and was promoted to Yard Foreman.  He came to Newark before we were officially open for business and helped layout the yard, train our new operations staff, and provided valuable insights through his many years of experience.  Bo’s leadership skills come naturally.

About From The Yard

From The Yard, is a new video series spotlighting many of our colleagues here at Kuiken Brothers – from sales, logistics & operations, millwork specialists, and our administrative team. We launched our first video in November 2021 and will post new videos every few weeks.

All of our roles here at Kuiken Brothers are interdependent on one another, and none of us can do our job well without the support of the entire team.

• Our sales and marketing staff work hard to grow our business and brand.
• Our operations team keeps our yards running smoothly for inbound product, customer picks-ups and deliveries.
• Our drivers deliver a large percentage of our sales activity every day.
• Our purchasing staff procures top grade materials from the best producers around the country.
• Our facilities and fleet teams keep our buildings and trucks running efficiently.
• Our professional administrative and HR teams keep our customer invoices flowing, our bills paid, and our employees safe – while offering some of the best benefits in the industry.

Ultimately, we’re all responsible for building relationships and adding value for each other and our customers.  The teamwork on display here at Kuiken Brothers to get this job done every day is nothing short of exceptional.  That’s not to say we’re always perfect.  Sometimes things don’t go according to plan, and we all know how frustrating that can be, but we work hard to correct those issues, and move on to get the job done well.

To our customers and future customers, thank you for all you do!  We greatly value the partnership that helps our projects moving forward. We hope you enjoy seeing some members of our team highlighted in this video series.
