A word from BEX®'s President Jason Adams:
"As a third-generation entrepreneur in the family-owned business realm, I can honestly say that I know no other way. But in many discussions over the years with friends, colleagues, and respected mentors, it seems without a doubt that operating a family-owned business goes much deeper than just a transactional relationship with clients.
Memories are made, families grow stronger, and teaching the next generation takes on a whole new meaning for the future success of an organization. I am grateful to have learned from my father, his father before him, their dedicated spouses who worked the business, and my family that I now work shoulder to shoulder with each and every day. They are my best friends and most trusted confidants.
The close relationship we share is not common; it is deep, real, and authentic — forged through many years of failure and success, frustration and joy — all the while charging forward together as a family. Encouraging and maintaining a culture of accountability, work ethic, integrity, compassion, and strong relationships is an example my father set years ago and serves as a timeless guiding principle in building a strong family-owned business."
