As seen in the Tried & True Summer 2024 issue
Jeff Webb’s journey at Fratco is a testament to the company’s commitment to nurturing talent and fostering a supportive work environment. Joining the company eight years ago, Jeff serves as the Controller and CFO, overseeing financial operations across all Fratco locations.
When asked about his role, Jeff highlights the dynamic nature of his work, emphasizing the positive culture and devoted team that makes Fratco a great place to work. Jeff’s methodical nature thrives in the routine of monthly financial closings, but he appreciates the unexpected challenges that keep his job exciting and engaging.
A standout benefit Jeff discovered at Fratco is the genuine work-life balance promoted by the leadership. “Chris, Bill and Craig want you to do your job well but also value your life outside of work,” Jeff notes. This flexibility was particularly important when his children were younger, allowing him to attend their sporting events and school functions without issue. Jeff found his way to Fratco through a handful of personal connections that led him to meet with Bill Champion, Fratco’s COO. Bill actually knew of Jeff before they met, which helped prove a true sense of community within the greater industry. This sense of community and personal connection is a recurring theme in Jeff’s experience at Fratco.
Describing Fratco’s unique position in the industry, Jeff points out that while Fratco competes with major companies, it retains the accessibility and personal touch of a small-town business. He remarks on this saying,
“It’s a neat environment to do what we do and still know that there are personal relationships not only between the employees here but also with the customers that we’re working for.”
This blend of quality and customer service is a hallmark of Fratco’s operations. Jeff believes Fratco’s dedication to customer service and problem-solving sets them apart. The reputation for reliability and integrity makes him proud to be part of the Fratco team.
Through his day-to-day work, Jeff helps demonstrate what it means to thrive in a family-oriented work environment. We are grateful for Jeff’s journey here at Fratco and the example he sets for us all.
