Last year we introduced our Annual Awards Banquet, the purpose of which is to gather all BPI employees to recognize their accomplishments, celebrate their dedication, and welcome the possibilities the next year has in store. Key suppliers sponsor this annual celebration and this year we’re proud to announce that GAF, James Hardie, and TimberTech by AZEK will be sponsoring this celebration and collaboration with our BPI team.
BPI President and owner, Kyle Schull, recounts some major accomplishments this year:
“As a company, we accomplished many feats including opening a new branch in Minnesota, launching the new BPI Millwork Stocking Program, integrating a new analytics program and opening new sales territories; all to bring better service to our customers and advance how we do business at BPI. I would like to extend my appreciation towards our sponsors for the event and look forward to continuing the successful partnership into 2024: GAF, James Hardie, and TimberTech by AZEK.”
