Late in the year 2002, a young man was presented with an opportunity. Coby Hall had been working for a gentleman named Wayne Sands for a while and in that time they formed a very strong bond and friendship. Coby and Wayne had talked several times about the prospect of Coby buying Wayne's business. Finally they struck a deal. Coby was buying the business started by the man he admired and considered his mentor. Armed with the knowledge acquired from Wayne the adventure began. Since Coby had been raised in Lincoln, Arkansas, he knew this was meant to be. Where else should you build towards your dreams and contribute to building a strong and proud community other than the one in which you were raised. With the support and full time help of his wife Bobbie, Coby became the president of Hall Electrical Contractors. Starting out with only two trucks, a garage full of tools and basic industrial electrical equipment, and people having knowledge, confidence and a continued willingness to learn, Hall Electrical Contractors, now known commonly as H.E.C. began to grow, working its way into the position of primary electrical contractor for four Simmons food production plants, two Simmons warehouses and some of Simmons' Hatchery operations. H.E.C. also handles all of Simmons' 24 hour emergency service calls. In addition, H.E.C. found time to expand into other commercial and residential work, meeting or beating their deadlines and accomplishing all of the goals they have aspired to reach. Another important priority was, and still is, take care of those who take care of you. Any employee of H.E.C. will tell you, to Coby Hall, employees and their families are very important to the foundation and strength of H.E.C. Another important value Coby believes in strongly is giving back to the community. Along with business responsibilities, Coby still finds time to help coach and support the local sports and community activities his sons Jarred and Zachary are involved in, and he serves as a volunteer for the Lincoln Fire Department. Presently, H.E.C. performs all phases of electrical contracting from communication to residential, commercial and industrial work. The scope of the work H.E.C. performs ranges from installing an entire industrial production line including main power supply right down to system control and logic to installing a light over your kitchen sink. With the purchase of the land and shop they were leasing, and building an addition this year, their moderate fleet of company service vehicles has more than doubled. New boom and scissor lifts, complimented by equipment hauling, supply storage and job site trailers indicate that H.E.C. is showing no signs of slowing its growth and capabilities. With electrical apprentices scheduled to be graduating in each of the next 4 years and more to come, H.E.C. is preparing young men to become productive members of the proud group of journeymen electricians, just as Coby Hall and H.E.C. have done for 5 years and counting. As a proud member of the Lincoln business community, Hall Electrical Contractors and all of our employees would like to thank you for this honor and assure you, the community, that we will continue to strive to do our best to make you proud. With Our Sincerest
Appreciation, Originally written by James R. Wert - H.E.C. Safety Officer |
