The Budd Group Celebrates 60 Years of Service and Excellence
February 2023
WINSTON-SALEM, NC — The Budd Group, a North Carolina-based facilities services company, is proud to celebrate 60 years of growth in services, geographic scope, and capabilities. As the family-owned company has expanded from its North Carolina roots to serving businesses and educational institutions throughout the Southeast, they have held fast to a commitment to personal service and excellence while embracing advances in equipment and technology.
In 1963 Richard Budd bought a struggling janitorial supply company in Winston-Salem and worked hard to grow the business and deliver quality products and services to customers. When clients asked if he could provide janitorial services in addition to cleaning supplies, he hired additional staff, purchased equipment, and worked side-by-side with the cleaning teams to exceed customer expectations. When customers asked if he could maintain their grounds, Richard implemented
the steps necessary to add landscaping to the company’s services. Other services followed, and today The Budd Group employs over 5,000 associates in 13 states.
“I’m very thankful for our wonderful clients and employees who have enabled us to grow, prosper and give back to the communities where we do business.” Joe Budd, CEO
Today The Budd Group provides facility solutions for colleges, universities, athletic venues, school districts, hospitals, corporate offices, manufacturing facilities, and homeowner associations. Although each client is unique and services are customized for each facility, The Budd Group team maintains a single-minded focus on the founder’s philosophy.
“Do what you say you’re going to do.” Richard Budd
This simple concept is at the heart of the company’s “Make It Right Guarantee,” given to every customer. The Budd Group will meet or exceed customer expectations in the delivery of facility support solutions and if The Budd Group does not deliver the contracted services to the customer’s satisfaction, they will Make It Right.
With operations throughout the Southeast, The Budd Group provides integrated environmentally sound facility solutions, including janitorial, disinfection, maintenance, landscaping, and customized specialty services.
