This ability to stay ahead of the market is going to stand both sides of Buckman ’ s in good stead for the future , with Jeff ’ s son Brad having taken over the day-to-day operations from his father , with Jeff and his wife Nancy remaining as ‘ Buckman ’ s Ambassadors ’ and Jeff on-hand to offer advice and recommendations . This slight stepping back allows Jeff to concentrate on other areas , such as his mission projects and work on advisory boards .
In just over five decades , Buckman ’ s combined business has grown from $ 46,000 in sales to more than $ 125 million . It is an outstanding example of sustained growth and adaptability , and as it heads into the future , Brad looks set to continue to navigate opportunities , meet evolving customer needs and explore new market segments . As our conversation draws to a close , we circle back to Jeff ’ s book , Making Your Business God ’ s Business . While his own specific approach is based on biblical principles , it is fair to say that regardless of faith , some of the methods he uses are applicable to all businesses . “ Looking after vendors , serving customers and being kind to staff , and being honest ; all of those sorts of values are relevant to everybody ,” he concludes . ■
