In the 1950s and 60s, the Clyde companies were growing. New opportunities were taking shape. New businesses were forming. The work was expanding across industries and communities.
But even as that growth took hold, one thing was already clear.
We value people.
Across W.W. Clyde & Co., Utah Service, Geneva Rock, and Beehive Insurance, the success of each company was built by individuals who showed up ready to work, solve problems, and support one another. The projects mattered, but the people doing the work mattered more.
Those early teams built more than roads, materials operations, and service businesses. They built a culture. A culture rooted in trust. A culture shaped by hard work and shared responsibility. A culture where people looked out for each other because they understood that success was never achieved alone.
Utah Service, which would later become Sunpro and Suncore, grew through teams who took pride in their work and in the relationships they built. Geneva Rock expanded because of people committed to quality and reliability. Beehive Insurance developed by focusing on service, trust, and long-term relationships. Across every company, the pattern was the same.
People came first.
That mindset was not written as a slogan. It was lived out in daily work, in how teams treated each other, and in how they approached every job. It became part of the foundation long before it was ever formally defined as a value.
Today, Clyde Companies operates across multiple industries and states, with thousands of team members contributing in different ways. The scale has changed, but the foundation has not.
We still value people by prioritizing safety and respect.
We still value people by creating opportunities to grow.
We still value people by building teams that support each other and take pride in their work.
The legacy of the 1950s and 60s is not just in the companies that were built. It is in the culture that continues to guide us.
Because at Clyde Companies, valuing people is not something we introduced along the way.
It is who we have always been.
And it is who we will continue to be.
