The Wilkinson Supply Co. team and their families enjoyed a great evening at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park for HBA of Durham, Orange & Chatham Counties Family Night. It was an ideal opportunity to bring the team and members of the industry together outside of work.

For six decades, Wilkinson Supply has been led by members of the founding family. The North Carolina-based wholesaler has grown from a modest five-person operation in 1965 to one of the largest plumbing supply houses in the region.

Our EVP Kendrick Reaves was on the road this week with Danny Robertson of RNR Enterprises, our independent representative in Oklahoma. They stopped by the famous Golden Driller statue in Tulsa, which is the state monument and a symbol of its petroleum industry and heritage.
You can get an idea of the immense size of the landmark when comparing it to Kendrick (shown underneath in the red shirt). The statue is 76 feet tall and weighs 43,500 pounds. An original version was created for the 1953 International Petroleum Exposition, and this current more detailed and larger version was permanently installed at the Tulsa Fairgrounds in 1966.
