The Budd Group was found­ed by Richard Budd in 1963, when he pur­chased a strug­gling jan­i­to­r­i­al sup­ply busi­ness and estab­lished the foun­da­tion for our orga­ni­za­tion to grow into a dynam­ic region­al facil­i­ty ser­vice cor­po­ra­tion. Today, The Budd Group employs over 4,000 ser­vice pro­fes­sion­als and offers a broad range of facil­i­ty solu­tions for cor­po­rate cus­tomers through­out the Southeast.

Our core strength is our diverse com­mu­ni­ty of pro­fes­sion­als who man­age and deliv­er our ser­vices 24 hours a day, sev­en days a week. Although they have var­ied skill sets and back­grounds they are uni­fied by Richard’s lega­cy of hard work, integri­ty and out­stand­ing cus­tomer ser­vice. You have our com­mit­ment to pro­vide great peo­ple, who deliv­er smart ser­vices, result­ing in loy­al customers.

As you get to know us, you will find:

  • We treat oth­ers the way we expect to be treat­ed. We are legal, just, hon­est and eth­i­cal in our deal­ings with all cus­tomers, employ­ees and ven­dors, and we expect the same from them.
  • We lis­ten to our cus­tomers to under­stand their goals and objec­tives, so that we may help them do what they do best.
  • We inte­grate tech­nol­o­gy and inno­va­tion into our busi­ness for our cus­tomers’ benefit.
  • We oper­ate with our cus­tomers’ best inter­ests in mind, build­ing last­ing and mutu­al­ly ben­e­fi­cial relationships.
  • We care about our employ­ees: occu­pa­tion­al­ly, finan­cial­ly, phys­i­cal­ly, emo­tion­al­ly and spiritually.
  • We rec­og­nize that every­one is cre­at­ed with cer­tain strengths, gifts and apti­tudes, and we pro­vide career oppor­tu­ni­ties that appro­pri­ate­ly match them.
  • We reward and rec­og­nize our employ­ees for excel­lent performance.
  • We believe that to whom much is giv­en, much is expect­ed, and in return, we give our time, tal­ent and trea­sures back to our com­mu­ni­ties.

As the lead­ers of The Budd Group today, we con­sid­er our­selves per­son­al­ly account­able for deliv­er­ing these promis­es and con­tin­u­ing the lega­cy that Richard cre­at­ed. To ensure that we are doing so, we and all of our team mem­bers spend a sig­nif­i­cant amount of time with our cus­tomers, dis­cussing their needs, mak­ing sure that we are meet­ing those needs and devel­op­ing ways to add more value.

To our cur­rent cus­tomers, thank you for choos­ing The Budd Group as your part­ner. To our future cus­tomers, we look for­ward to meet­ing you and to the oppor­tu­ni­ty to add val­ue to your business.

Thank you,

Joe Budd

Testimonials

Dane Slaughter, Greenville-Spartanburg Airport District

I have worked with The Budd Group since 2011, and I have been very pleased and impressed with their staff, account managers, and regional support they provide. They have been very prompt to respond if there is an issue with the janitorial services. They provide an exceptional service and understand the importance of greeting our passengers and guests to allow them to have a wonderful experience when traveling. I view their service as a partnership and count on them daily to deliver exceptional quality to our tenants, passengers, staff, and business partners.

Guy Harley, Wake Forest University Health Sciences

The Budd Group provides exceptional custodial services for our campus. We are grateful for their service to our patients, families, visitors, staff and faculty for over 40 years. The Budd Group is very responsive to our requests and needs, and we truly believe in their loyalty and commitment to our success.

Billy D. Smith, Kershaw County School District

I personally have had the best experience and relationship with The Budd Group. From their owner all the way to their day porters, they take great pride in representing the company name, and doing the best job they can. During these unprecedented pandemic times The Budd Group has been flexible and responsive to the changing needs our district has had in every way. With every firm that we have used there have been issues, but no firm has ever been as responsive, and as quick to fix whatever the issue may be as The Budd Group!

Nick Mincey, Orange County Schools

The Budd Group has gone above and beyond in providing custodial services to our district. Following a lengthy RFP process, we as a committee selected them to help our district achieve a new and rejuvenating approach to campus cleaning and facility care. We asked them to take on a difficult task of staffing, and preparing schools for the start of our school year with only 6 weeks of transition time. We all knew it would be difficult at best. However, with the help of their Human Resources department and successful hiring strategies, we were up and running by the time our Staff members began to enter the campuses for the school year.

Blaise Winch, Capsugel

The Budd Group has been providing services to Capsugel for over 6 years. The service provided has been excellent and professional. They perform duties in multiple locations including a manufacturing plant, distribution center, office area, machine shop and fitness center. They clean all of the following types of areas at those various locations: office, bathroom, cafeteria, fitness center, locker room, shipping/receiving and CGMP production areas. As it relates to CGMP experience, they also created a sanitation program for the cGMP areas, maintain and created their own operating instructions, maintain document control and follow all cGMP guidelines for hygiene and documentation.

Susan A. Maddux, Presbyterian College

The Budd Group has become a true partner with Presbyterian College. They have taken the time to fully understand our mission and become a true part of the Blue Hose family. The housekeeping staff often pull off miracles when given very little time to clean a space on campus between events. They work long hours and respond 24/7 to emergencies on campus. The landscaping team has transformed the grounds of the campus such that the college regularly gets positive feedback from those who visit the campus. Before outsourcing to The Budd Group, the college performed these services in house. We have seen significant improvement in both housekeeping and grounds since The Budd Group took over.
