TO CONGRATULATE LOG CREEK TIMBER COMPANY of JOHNSTON ON BEING NAMED THE 2018 TIMBER HARVESTING LOGGING BUSINESS OF THE YEAR AND TO WISH THE COMPANY MUCH CONTINUED SUCCESS IN THE YEARS TO COME.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Log Creek Timber Company of Johnston has been named the 2018 Timber Harvesting Logging Business of the Year; and
Whereas, Log Creek, owned by the Williams family, is only the second company from South Carolina to receive this coveted award; and
Whereas, once a mom-and-pop small business, Log Creek now has one hundred thirty employees, but it has retained the sense of one big family that it had at its beginning; and
Whereas, in the 1980s, Log Creek began as a contract logger for a local mill. Theo and Elaine Williams ran the timber business as a second business, along with their peach-farming operations. The couple's children, Tim, Reg, and Martha, all grew up on the farm, where they learned useful leadership skills; and
Whereas, the three Williams siblings have grown their father's logging operation to a family of companies that includes a timber procurement company employing twenty harvesting crews, ten of which are the Williamses' company crews; a trucking company with forty power units with a dedicated dispatch and logistical staff; an on-site NAPA Auto Parts store with a Stihl dealership; and a variety of other diversified interests; and
Whereas, until 2016, Elaine Williams helped out in the office with paperwork. Theo Williams remained actively involved until 2010 and still enjoys a cup of coffee in the office most mornings; and
Whereas, the House takes great pleasure in saluting Log Creek Timber Company on receiving the Logging Business of the Year award and offers its best wishes for all the company's future endeavors. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Log Creek Timber Company of Johnston on being named the 2018 Timber Harvesting Logging Business of the Year and wish the company much continued success in the years to come.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Log Creek Timber Company.
