Posted by Tim Viola, March 10, 2025
In today's fast-paced world, where employees often switch companies to pursue new opportunities, finding someone who has spent four decades with a single organization is a rarity. But for Jim Frey, his 40-year journey with Wales Darby is a testament to hard work, loyalty, and an unwavering commitment to a company that he’s watched evolve over the years. Forty years ago, Jim first began his journey at Wales Darby as the Warehouse Manager. After spending some time getting a solid feel for the company, Jim transitioned into the sales department; starting with inside sales and then moving to outside sales. His continued success over the years led to his well-earned promotions to Vice President of Distribution Sales, Vice President of Contractor Services, and ultimately, to the Vice President of Strategic Accounts, his current role today. Jim attributes much of his success over the years to the amazing and unique culture of Wales Darby itself. “Working for Wales Darby, you always have the opportunity to advance yourself.” Jim explained. One of the most remarkable aspects of Jim’s long tenure at Wales Darby is his deep connection with the people he’s worked with. Many of his colleagues have also been at the company for decades, and he considers them not just co-workers, but friends and family. “This is who Wales Darby is at their core,” Jim explained, “working for a family-owned company, they really care about their employees.” While celebrating all of his devoted and diligent past with the company, Jim is looking back with great pride and looking forward with great optimism. “I feel really fortunate to be working for a great company,” Jim said, “it’s been a real privilege.” Wales Darby is extremely grateful for Jim’s four decades of loyal service and holds him in high regard as an incredible success story that inspires us all. Thank you, Jim! |
