BIRMINGHAM, AL — Brasfield & Gorrie has grown a lot since Miller Gorrie founded the company in 1964. During Brasfield & Gorrie's 60 years in business, the company has grown from a local contractor to a national firm. It has helped clients complete projects that transform communities and power economies.

For the 60th anniversary, about 3,000 employees and guests recently gathered in Brasfield & Gorrie’s hometown (Birmingham, Alabama) to celebrate the company's past, present, and future.

“It’s rewarding to see all the things we’ve built, but I’m even more pleased by the impact we’ve made on people and communities while working hand-in-hand with our clients and partners,” CEO Jim Gorrie said. “We’re stronger than we’ve ever been, and our future is bright. Our current, third generation of leadership is the most talented we’ve ever had, and there are a lot of lessons from our past that can fuel our future.”

Company-wide, Brasfield & Gorrie’s workforce has grown to more than 3,700 teammates. And though the company is headquartered in Birmingham, it serves people, projects, and communities nationwide. Brasfield & Gorrie has constructed projects in 39 states since its inception and currently has offices in 13 cities. The company encourages its teams to give back to their communities both financially and with their time.

“We’re grateful to past generations of Brasfield & Gorrie employees for laying the foundation for our success,” said President Rob Blalock, part of the company’s third generation of leaders. “As long as we stay true to our values, we’re positioned for an incredible future. Founder Miller Gorrie’s story certainly shows what you can do with determination, grit, and a commitment to doing the right thing for our people and our clients. We’ve got all the ingredients in place to support big dreams. As amazing as the first 60 years have been, I think the best is yet to come.”
