“When Tiffany and I joined the company, it was already a good size to support our parents,” said Terry Woodley, who joined the business when he was 30. “Since then, we’ve been able to grow and also create a joint venture with another building maintenance company that was the brainchild of my father and his good friend, Skip Marsden.”
While Marsden passed before the launch of that joint venture – which is known today as Tier One Property Services – and Jimmy Woodley passed not long after, Terry and Tiffany have seen it grow from idea to a multi-state, multi-million-dollar commercial janitorial, building maintenance and specialty property services business.
“It was their trust in one another that led us to where we are today with Tier One,” said Terry, who noted that WBM is a majority stakeholder in Tier One Property Services.
Looking back over the decades and generations, the relationship between the Woodleys and U.S. Bank runs deep.
“The entrepreneurial spirit and growth mindset that started with Jimmy lives on in Tiffany and Terry,” said Jack Golden, a business banking relationship manager at U.S. Bank. “It’s an honor to support them as they continue to grow Woodley Building Maintenance and strategically plan for the future of their business.”
Today, succession planning is top of mind for the Woodleys and they are working with Golden to outline possible paths forward as they think about the legacy of their company.
“The third generation are my kids, and my kids have other interests,” said Terry Woodley. “One is studying cyber security and the other is working towards becoming a chiropractor, so we want to see what options are out there for the business down the line.”
When looking back during their 50-year anniversary as Woodley Maintenance Company in 2019, Terry Woodley said, “it is humbling to take a step back and reflect on our history and the journey that led us to where we are today. It is a notable accomplishment for our customers, our team, our partners, and our family.”
