Joining the family business isn’t always a given, but Kyle Davies shares how he found his path and the lessons that shaped him along the way.
Kyle Davies, General Manager of W.E. Davies and Sons Remodeling, talks about his unique journey into the family business, a company that's been a cornerstone of Madison, Wisconsin, for nearly 50 years. Kyle didn't jump into the business right away; he explored careers in retail, restaurant management, and distribution, gaining valuable experience in sales and service before coming back to his roots. His diverse background has helped him bridge the gap between operations and sales, fostering smoother internal communication.
Kyle shares how the landscape of the trades has changed, including the renewed interest among younger generations thanks to revived trade programs in schools. His experiences at local high school trade days proved that interest in hands-on work is alive and well. The family business thrives on mentorship, with seasoned carpenters sharing their knowledge and guiding newer team members at a sustainable pace.
Through an open-door policy and a culture of transparency, Kyle emphasizes the importance of communication and learning from each other to keep the company strong. For those considering a career shift to the trades, Kyle offers practical advice: you don’t have to be a master carpenter to be part of the industry—there’s a role for everyone.
