I am very excited about 2006. Last year was a rock-solid year for Bobbitt – the second best in 60 years. We can all feel extremely proud of this achievement. The economic picture is bright both nationally and in our region. Both Raleigh and Columbia continue to be identifi ed as cities that are expected to enjoy superior growth.

Bobbitt is well-positioned to utilize our strengths: a strong satisfi ed customer base of thousands, a knowl-edgeable professional team of employee-owners, and a clear focus on Design-Build. We will continue to serve and support our customers one-by-one, further building upon our company’s rich history.

In recent months, we have paid close attention to truly capturing the essence of the Bobbitt brand, examining the ways in which we articulate our image and the messages we communicate. Each issue will feature thoughts on topics pertaining to corporate positioning – enabling all of us to communicate more effi ciently, both internally and externally.

In this issue, the topic at hand is our corporate Brand Values. These principles guide how we conduct business and cultivate relationships to assure our customers’ needs are met:

Tradition Embodies the way we as employees are caretakers of the reputation. We have a keen un-derstanding of the value of customer service as well as pride in our overall impact to the community. Often referred to as having Bobbitt in our blood.

Service Employees maintain a genuine interest in local communities and exemplify the timeless quali-ties of honesty and integrity in working with customers. Our mindset is to think about the future with concern for the best interests of our customers as well as our organization.

Value We take pride in solving our customers’ most diffi cult challenges as if each project is our own. For some, building can be a nightmare. Our employees know the way, maintaining a long-range view of every project to get the job done right.

Guidance We take the time to educate customers – creating order out of chaos with our experience, confi dence and ability to maximize available resources that assure the best solutions. Internally, this commitment carries through with teamwork that is unmatched in the industry and pride in the indi-vidual and collective achievements within our company.

Subsequent issues will feature topics such as the corporate Vision and our long-range goals to:• Increase employee stock value through consistent company growth, continuing to expand our

presence and thereby ranking among the top contractors in the region.

• Positively impact our communities in ways outside of business relationships.

• Measure our company among the world’s fi nest design-build organizations.

• Maintain an active public presence to educate on the value of design-build.

I’m proud to begin the fi rst quarter of our 60th Anniversary year on such strong footing – let’s make this the best year yet.

MARKETING MATTERSYou’ve no doubt noticed the new Bobbitt Design Build logo on these pages. We’re very excited to intro-

duce this creative design and the positive image it represents for our organization moving forward.

Upon fi rst glance, you may not see a signifi cant dif-ference from the previous design. Examine it a little further, and you’ll notice this new brand identity symbolizes the forward momentum our organiza-tion is experiencing. We also feel it demonstrates a more modern approach and accurately represents the progressiveness within our talented team.

What else is happening in marketing you ask? Well, this newsletter is an example. This is just one way we’ll keep employees current on com-pany happenings. Each month, President and CEO Don Comer will highlight key aspects of our overall performance. Also note that these

pages feature unique and newly completed projects from across each of our offi ces, as well as updates on Bobbitt community support and other activity.

Compliments abound for the new Bobbitt web site with its unique design that befi ts our status as the Carolinas’ largest and most expe-

rienced contractor specializing in design-build. Have a look and tell us what you think. Note the vast num-ber of recently completed projects featured through-out that demonstrate the breadth of our talents.

In cooperation with NAI Carolantic Realty, Bobbitt recently sponsored the 21st Annual Triangle Com-mercial Real Estate Conference, held at the RBC Center in Raleigh. Featuring our newly designed signage, we made a signifi cant impression on the thousands in attendance.

Needless to say, we are making our presence felt in the community with all kinds of marketing activity. In the coming months, we will roll out a new advertis-ing campaign and be featured in area publications.

So stay tuned, in future issues this space will be used to show you what’s on display across the region.

MATTERS

At our December Christmas parties in both Columbia

and Raleigh, Bobbitt Design Build recognized employees

for their years of service. So many dedicated employees

standing up to be honored for for 5, 10, 15 … and up to 35

years of service was a testament to the kind of company

Bobbitt is and to the caliber of people who make up our team.

Since our founding, Bobbitt has been a family-oriented company – not only in

the way we encourage work-family balance for our employees, but also in how

we strive to build a family culture within our work environment. Our culture is one

of teamwork and support that enables all of our employees to excel and achieve

their full potential. Our ESOP helps to facilitate employee ownership and pride

in the end results. When everyone is working together for the same long-term

goal, employees feel motivated and enthusiastic about their jobs. These qualities

make Bobbitt a great place to work, and it’s the reason that so many of our

people stay at Bobbitt for their entire career.

We could not have built this culture over the years without the exceptional

people we have on our team. Each and every one of you plays an important role

in the way you perform your job and treat your co-workers. We applaud you in

living up to your commitments to one another so that together we can continue

to service our clients and thrive as a company.

Join me in congratulating our employees who achieved years of service

milestones through 2014. Look on the back page for the award recipients, and

check out our Facebook page for pictures.

In late December, Bobbitt launched a

new mobile responsive website that

creates ease of use for users on all

devices – desktop computers, tablets

and mobile devices. The revamped

site features streamlined navigation,

the Bobbitt newsroom, an expansive

portfolio that can be searched by

project type or location (coming soon)

and more. Funded in part by Butler

Manufacturing, the website also has a

landing page about our partnership with

Butler Buildings.

Will Marshburn, John High, John

Clagett, Brian Griffith and Chris Goins

represented Bobbitt at the 19th Annual

North Carolina Veterinary Conference

at the Raleigh Convention Center in

October. They met veterinarians, vet

techs and other industry professionals

from across North Carolina.

COMPANY HAPPENINGS

In December, both the NC and SC offices gathered together to celebrate Christmas merriment and honor the employees who have dedicated many years to Bobbitt.

In Raleigh, nearly 60 members of the Bobbitt crew and their loved ones enjoyed a night of fun in downtown at 18 Seaboard, a restaurant dedicated to regional cuisine and southern hospitality. In Columbia, over 20 members of the Bobbitt family enjoyed a pig picking in the relaxed atmosphere at Safe Haven.
