Episode #152 - Home Sweet Holmes - Holmes Building Materials

Founded in 1957 as a brick and salvage company, Holmes Building Materials is now a 4th generation building materials company in Baton Rouge and Denham Springs. After taking his Dad’s advice of having work experience outside of the family biz, Matthew ended up in Shreveport; however, after a few years, he eventually found his way back to the homefront in 2011. Going from a brickyard company, where men used to clean and polish brick in order to resell them, to a company with two storefronts and a recent showroom opening in Metairie, Holmes Building Materials has undoubtedly come a long way. However, with the interjection of Covid, Matthew and his team had to tackle a whole new beast which included a lot of transporting materials and communicating with manufacturers. This inevitably begs the further question - What is the new normal? In this episode, Matthew discusses the history of the business, supply chain issues, and how his father has positively impacted him throughout the years.
