A Shared Vision for the Future
As Lowe’s leaders considered the company’s future, finding the right path forward was a top priority. The decision was guided by a shared commitment to employees, clients, relationships, and long-term success.
“As we considered the future of Lowe Engineers, finding the right path forward was our highest priority,” said Bill Daniel, Partner at Lowe Engineers. “With the guidance of Morrissey Goodale and Jon Escobar, we thoughtfully evaluated our options and ultimately found the right fit in MacKay. What stood out to us was the strong alignment of values, their commitment to people and clients, and their vision for the future. We are excited about the opportunities this creates for our employees, our clients, and the communities we serve.”
By joining MacKay, Lowe gains access to additional resources, expertise, and capabilities while preserving the relationships, local leadership, and culture that have contributed to the company’s success for nearly seven decades.
Building MacKay’s Southeast Region
Lowe will serve as the foundation of MacKay’s Southeast region, supporting future growth across the area while continuing to provide responsive service and technical expertise that clients have come to expect.
