ARC Mechanical in Bradford announces organizational changes

ARC Mechanical Contractor’s president and owner, Wil Buskey, announced significant changes to the company’s corporate structure. With retirement approaching, Wil has redefined the management team that will steer ARC to a future without him. For nearly 45 years, Wil has been involved in nearly every aspect in the heating, cooling, and refrigeration business; and for the last 12 years, has been the driving force behind ARC.
Wil’s new role as Chief Executive Officer allows him to continue to guide the company’s direction, but the day-to-day operations of ARC will now be handled by Jody Perkins, ARC’s current service manager and new president. Jody’s role as service manager will not change for the immediate future.
‘I’m very happy with my new role and feel I am up to the challenge to continue ARC’s growth with a thoughtful, considered approach,’ says Jody Perkins, ARC’s new president. Jody has been with ARC since 1992 where he started as a service technician. In 2005 he became the service department manager. Jody holds a number of licenses and certifications, including four NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certifications.
ARC’s redefined management team:
- Wilton L. Buskey, Chief Executive Officer
- Jody Perkins, President, Service Manager
- Brian Sager, Vice President, Chief of Engineering and Design
- Andy Courchesne, Vice President, Sales and Operations Manager
- Wayne Vanasse, General Manager, Chief Financial Officer
ARC was recognized in 2003 and again in 2009 by Vermont Business Magazine for being one of five of Vermont's fastest growing businesses in the construction market. The 5x5x5 Growth Awards acknowledge five Vermont businesses that have experienced the greatest growth over the past five years over five business categories: technology, construction, wholesale, business services and manufacturing. ARC had a growth rate of 76% during the five year period covered.
