Blair Appointed President of Consumers Concrete Corporation

Words: Thomas AdamsConsumers Concrete Corporation recently announced the appointment of Bruce Blair as President and CEO. Blair brings over thirty years of experience in the concrete construction industry to his new position at the locally owned company. He is also the first non-family member to take the helm at the West Michigan company.

While former CEO Tom Thomas and former President Steve Thomas have retired from the company’s day-to-day operations, they continue as owners and as Chairman and Vice Chairman of the company’s Board of Directors. In their new roles they will provide input and strategic direction as the company moves forward.

“Since our long-term goal is to continue to operate Consumers Concrete Corporation as a locally owned business, it was important that we facilitated the transition to the next generation by installing senior leadership with the knowledge, experience, and expertise necessary to maintain our leadership position in the Michigan markets we serve,” said Tom Thomas.

Founded in 1933, Consumers Concrete Corporation has established a long tradition of quality, innovation, and dependability that its customers have come to rely on over the years. “There will be no letup in our commitment to maintaining the trust our customers place in us every day as we move forward,” explains Blair.

“We will continue to lead the way with new generation concrete products, industry-leading ready mix dispatching, and unmatched customer service as Consumers Concrete continues to be the place to do business when concrete matters,” Blair concluded.
