SPC Founder Buren Williford

About our founder

Buren Williford was born in Wilson County, North Carolina in 1934, just years after the Great Depression had shattered the nation’s economic strength. As he grew, Buren learned responsibility and the value of hard work, first while working on his family’s farm, then when he began driving a school bus at age 16.

Following his high school graduation in 1952, Buren worked for a Rocky Mount construction firm before joining a local mechanical contractor in Wilson. In 1956, Buren married Peggy Strickland. She would be his love and support for the next 50+ years.

After passing the state mechanical licensing exam in 1963, in 1965 Mr. Williford started Southern Piping Company, a mechanical contracting company, in a small office on Goldsboro Street in Wilson, NC, with $2,000 in savings and a $21,000 small business loan. When SPC first opened, there were only two employees, Buren and Peggy. Now we are 250+ strong!

Meet Our People

I realized it was a career versus a job when I got here. It’s really easy to move up, they want to work with you and they want you to be part of the SPC family.

SPC is like my family since I got out of the Marines. The team has taught me a lot over the years and we all enjoy what we do.

I am happy to work for a company that invests in its employees’ careers and lives up to its values.
