A PREFERRED YEAR

A PREFERRED YEAR

Author:  Keith Wayne, CEO

The continued Pursuit of Excellence at Wayne Brothers has been a passionate part of our Purpose Statement since our inception. That pursuit led us, more than ten years ago, to form a wholesale material supply business built by builders who saw a better way to deliver. From day one, the goal was simple: stock what works, move with urgency, and support the people in the field who are under pressure to perform.

As the business grew, we expanded further by bringing rental equipment, trucking, and logistics under internal control. Today, Preferred Supply focuses on the core needs of active jobsites with construction supplies, construction equipment offered through lease or financing options, aggregates and hauling, and specialty materials such as fibers. This focus reflects how projects are actually built and allows us to be a dependable partner across multiple points of need.

Early in this effort to take greater control of our supply chain, we understood what would be required to consistently deliver successful outcomes on major projects. From that understanding, we established a clear mission for the Preferred Supply business: to become the “Preferred” supplier for our customers. Our focus has always been on maintaining a carefully selected inventory of high-quality materials and equipment that have been field tested and proven in real construction environments. We do not stock filler or shortcuts, only products we would use ourselves.

Looking ahead, 2026 will be a year of phenomenal growth for Preferred Supply. With the Lowcountry regional store fully stocked and the Mid-South regional store completing its expansion, we are well positioned to support all regions with dependable inventory, experienced drivers, and hands-on service. Each location is staffed with knowledgeable, local teams who pick up the phone, know your job, and take ownership from order to delivery.

Wayne Brothers, along with our clients, industry partners, and even competitors, face enough challenges when delivering projects on schedule and to client expectations. Preferred Supply is proud to remove supply chain uncertainty from that equation by delivering materials, equipment, aggregates, and logistics through a single, accountable source. Because when you Prefer RED, you get treated right.
