As we move into 2018 it is time to reflect on 2017. Perhaps the biggest highlight for 2017 was the spring announcement and addition of several new operational and sales positions within the company. Designed to improve our operational efficiencies and increase market penetration, we are pleased to report we are starting to see positive results in both areas with successes yet to come.

David Lyman is definitely a company man. He's will be celebrating 20 years with Boyd Metals in February and has worked in three of our five locations - Ft. Smith, Oklahoma City, and now at Boyd Metals in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Every day, he is focused on putting the customer's needs first. David knows he cannot exceed the expectations of customers by himself - it's a team effort. He relies on his staff and believes in supporting and empowering his team so they can deliver Boyd's best to the client every time.

At Boyd Metals, we are committed to providing our customers with better service and more value than any other player in the metal service center industry.

Many of you already know how helpful we can be on the phone. (Thanks for giving us a call!) But many don't realize that we can be pretty helpful online as well. Our website is home to a wide variety of resources that you can take advantage of today for free. From conversion charts to safety data sheets, the information you need is all in one convenient place on our site.

Anyone in their 20’s or older understands that as we age and mature our needs change. What we require to succeed and grow both professionally and personally is vastly different in our teens and 20’s than in our 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. The evolution of a company is no different.

Understanding this, Boyd Metals recently started the process of evaluating our own business model to better position ourselves for future growth and to further our goal of excellence in customer service. As part of this process, we announced several staffing additions and changes.

We recently caught up with Audie Dennis, the General Manager of Boyd Metals in Joplin, to talk with about his work and the challenges he faces on the job. Here are highlights from our visit. Enjoy!

We announced last year that we were opening a new location in Tyler, Texas. The location has been open for just over six months now so we caught up with our General Manager, Ronny Testa, and asked him about what it takes to get a business started in a new area. Enjoy!

Believe it or not, LinkedIn is not an online resume site. While in its inception many used their profile as an online resume and were trolling for new opportunities, It is so much more.

LinkedIn is now the #1 most used professional networking site with sophisticated opportunities for finding key clients, keeping up with trends and staying current with thought leadership in your industry.
