“ A strong community ethos internally has also been central to our success here at Gallegos Paving. Our people are the reason for our ongoing success. We recently had our company town hall, where everyone came together to share their questions or concerns. There’ s a lot of political talk now, and a lot of divisive action happening across the country. It’ s important to me that our team remains united, and everyone feels heard,” Sheldon affirms. and we all get to reap the rewards. This community-driven approach is central to the work we do. Our mission going forward is to continue growing our market share and making a name for ourselves as a trusted local partner.”
As it continues to expand, the company remains true to its founding principles:“ Another of our core values is sustainability. I’ m from South Texas, so I appreciate the landscape, the ranches, everything about the outdoors. The last thing I want is for our work to be harmful to our surroundings, so I aim to make our operations as environmentally neutral as possible.
“ It’ s easy to make use of recycled materials, especially in the work we do, so for me it feels like a no-brainer. We’ ve succeeded in creating a circular economy by turning trash into treasure. I’ m a big believer in recycling, and we’ re going all-in on concrete recycling as part of our service offering expansion. I’ m highly motivated by people, planet and community, so these efforts will always be a top priority.
People first
Looking ahead, Sheldon considers what’ s next for Gallegos Paving:“ I’ d like to see our public
sector presence grow over time, and to support that we’ re placing a huge emphasis on safety protocols and training. Subsequently, we can provide opportunities for career growth within the business, helping people climb the ladder, and build a life for themselves.
“ People have always been the key to our success. I’ m going to be looking into a new ownership structure over the coming years, which would give staff members a stake in the business, and I’ m also working on new incentive programs to expand our workforce. I believe by supporting my team and making Gallegos an inspiring place to work, we’ ll continue to grow and meet our goals,” he concludes. ■
