"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." This perceptive assessment of the nature of work from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is a favorite of Damian Murphy, CEO of Peckham Industries.
It's an apt metaphor for the essential work that Peckham has undertaken over the last 99 years. As the Northeast's premier paving services and materials specialists, the family-owned enterprise has built a lasting reputation for high-quality craft work, supported by a platform of safety, integrity, dedication, and experience. "I believe that you must give people a vision and a purpose to make them more interested, more productive, and more satisfied in what they do," Murphy told BOSS. "It's really about giving people a way to contribute."
The Peckham vision is one that reinforces the excitement of reshaping the world beneath our feet with a fierce dedication to mastery, promise-keeping, and community. The company brings together a host of local tradespeople and craft workers who build the infrastructure of daily living with stone, sand, and bitumen. Since its founding in 1924, Peckham has grown into the area's leading expert in customized road construction and maintenance, offering expertise in asphalt pavements, aggregates, asphalt binders, emulsions and liquid capabilities, paving and construction services, recycled pavement solutions, milling, quality control, and manufacturing of precast parking garages.
Peckham's experts produce products that meet and often surpass the most stringent specifications of local, state, and federal authorities. Peckham's extensive network includes hot mix asphalt plants, stone quarries, bulk asphalt terminals, ready mix concrete plants and liquid and emulsion terminals throughout the Northeast. Every facility is equipped with a full quality assurance laboratory.
