Some moments define the future of an organization. Friday, June 12, 2026, was one of those moments for Paul Jackson & Son.
Before the start of our Annual Company Cookout, our employees and the employees of our subsidiaries gathered together for a milestone that will forever be part of our company’s history.
After serving as President of Paul Jackson & Son since May of 1987, Mr. Paul Jackson officially addressed our team regarding a leadership transition that became effective on June 1, 2026. After nearly five decades of unwavering leadership, he has assumed the role of CEO & Chairman, entrusting the presidency of the company to his son, John Paul Jackson.
For almost half a century, Mr. Paul has poured his life into this company. Countless long days, sleepless nights, difficult decisions, sacrifices, and an unwavering commitment to doing what was right have built far more than a successful construction company—they have built a culture rooted in integrity, servant leadership, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to putting others first. Every decision has been made with the best interests of our employees, clients, and communities at heart.
Founded in 1953, Paul Jackson & Son has always been more than a family business. It is a legacy of stewardship—one generation faithfully preparing the next. As the third generation of the Jackson family, John Paul Jackson now carries that responsibility forward, honoring the foundation that has been laid while leading the company into an exciting new chapter of growth and opportunity.
This transition is not simply a change in title—it is the continuation of a vision that has stood the test of time for more than 70 years.
Above all else, we recognize that every blessing this company has experienced has come from God’s faithfulness. Christ remains the foundation upon which Paul Jackson & Son is built. Our mission has always been greater than constructing buildings; it is about serving others with excellence, honoring God through our work, investing in our employees, and strengthening the communities we are privileged to serve.
To every employee who stood with us to celebrate this historic occasion—thank you. You are the heart of this company, and this milestone belongs to each of you as much as it does our leadership.
As we honor the extraordinary legacy of Mr. Paul Jackson, now CEO/Chair, we also look ahead with tremendous excitement and confidence in the future under the leadership of President John Paul Jackson. The best chapters of Paul Jackson & Son are still being written, and we are grateful to have each of you alongside us for the journey!
