BOONE READY-MIX - Key Persons


Damien Laney

Job Titles:
  • Dispatch Manager
The ready-mix business has been described as being as much of a trucking business as it is a product business. It is said that you can't truly know the business until you serve in the role of the dispatcher. The job requires timing delivery to jobs of various distances with trucks returning from jobs that are also from varying distances. Traffic loads, order changes, and job site specifications all combine to make "on-time delivery" a highly complex challenge. The daily challenge has been compared to playing a game of three-dimensional chess. In this job, there is no substitute for experience. In this critical role, Damien earned his "best in the business" reputation by perfecting his craft over a twenty-two year period.

Jeff Wells

Job Titles:
  • Sales Representative
  • Sales Rep

There, he served in many roles, starting with Sales, then, as Technical Service Representative and, finally, in a Sales Management capacity. Jeff dedicated most of his construction career to the Portland cement business. He was a Territory Manager for Essroc Corporation for 22 years in the Northern Kentucky market.
