Our motto is actually more than a motto. For us, it’s a way of life, a commitment to the high standard of service and care we give our customers and employees.

A lot of companies say that, of course. But we’re not like most companies. We’re a family business—a third-generation family business, in fact, with an unbreakable commitment to each other.

So we don’t see people as commodities. We see people as people, human beings, each with his or her own talents and potential, which is why we foster a caring work environment where people can do what they do best, achieve what they want to achieve, and become even better people in the process. That is, after all, what a real family does.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague, friend and company co-founder Nick Boddie who passed away at age 84 on Dec. 2, 2011. Our thoughts and prayers are with Nick's family and the many others who have been touched by and will miss this exceptional man. As Boddie-Noell Enterprises enters its 50th year, we'll remember the many contributions and vision provided by Nick, without whom our company would not be what it is today. Nick truly embodied the spirit behind our company's commitment to "We Believe in People."
