CEO, Kirby S. Hays, Accepting NMSDC National SOTY Award

November 5, 2018  Hal Hays Construction, Inc. was recently honored as the 2018 National Supplier of the Year by the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC).

The Riverside-based company was selected from a field of over 10,000 Diverse Business Enterprises for the prestigious award, which was presented during this year’s NMSDC Conference and Business Opportunity Exchange on Oct. 17 in Austin, Texas.

CEO Kirby S. Hays, who accepted the award on behalf of the company and its more than 200 employees, called the moment an “amazing honor” for both himself and the entire Hal Hays Construction, Inc. family.

“This is a total team award for the HHCI team,” said Hays, whose family’s Native American ancestry traces back to the Cherokee tribe. “From top to bottom, everyone has their fingerprints on this award. This is dedicated to our hardworking team members in the trenches on a daily basis representing our team with pride and delivering world-class projects for our clients.”

Nominated locally by Southern California Edison based on their exceptional performance as a prime vendor for them over the years, Hays hopes the recognition of “leadership and dedication to minority supplier development and to communities of color” helps spur further growth and opportunities for the company.

As a second generation, family owned construction company, the impact of being named National Supplier of the Year is enormous,” Hays said. “To be recognized at a national level for the work we do is truly an honor and one we take immense pride in. This is a landmark moment for HHCI and one we plan to build on.”
