Constructing Greatness

Present and Future of Construction Supplies with Sean Henderson


Listen Later

The pandemic and the way people responded to it affected some industries diminishing their production and sales and increasing the demand in others, leading to insane price escalation. The fluctuation of prices, both abrupt and unpredictable, put salespeople and contractors on the spot, making selling extremely hard, and complicating their delivery dates. As there is little people inside the industry can do about it, the best tactic is to try and relax and do the best possible with what is available. 


Today's guest is Sean Henderson, Outside Sales Representative at Bell Supply. We had a great chat about his decision to become part of the construction industry and his experience at Williamson College of the Trades, the market's changing situation in pandemic and post-pandemic times, and what he believes is the industry's dilemma right now. 


Sean kindly shared his advice for young people interested in joining the construction industry and the projects he is involved in. We also talked about the admission process to Williamson, what students should expect from attending its courses, and described his experience during his graduation in Structural Coatings Technology.
