As we have grown, our business has been more about the people, and not the plans.
This includes empowering our team to have the autonomy to make impactful decisions, and getting out of their way from the new apprentice joining LEC after trade school, to the 38-year tenured foreman, to our Executive Vice President.
By having this level of trust, we have hit an inflection point of tremendous growth, where we will eclipse $100M in annual sales organically over the next three years.
It starts with hiring right, and building a culture people want to be a part of. Our 1,000+ qualified applicants, and 50+ new hires this year is a testament to what the team has built. By hiring the brightest and most driven, our team is setup for success for decades to come.
The recipe is simple, but often overlooked. Invest in your team, let them have autonomy, push them to flourish, and build their internal drive to earn more, have more responsibility. It will continue to work thanks to our 98% year over year rentention and teamwork mentality.
Just this week, we had three individuals pass their journeyworker exam, two of which we paid for four years of apprenticeship training, followed by LEC paid journeyworker exam preparation. We will have nine more follow suit and get their journeyworker license under the same development plan in the next six months, all of which started with us only four years ago.
