HI-SPEED INDUSTRIAL SERVICE NAMES NEW CFO

Hi-Speed Industrial Service recently named B. J. Curtis as the company’s Chief Financial Officer. Prior to his new position, he owned and oversaw operations for two Arkansas-based ACE Hardware locations as well as Curtis Lumber Company, Inc. In his new role, he will oversee financial strategy, economic analysis and compliance for Hi-Speed. Curtis earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Accounting from the University of Arkansas.

“We’re thrilled to have B.J.’s talent and experience on our team,” says Ben Buffington, president and CEO of Hi-Speed Industrial Service. “As a result of his leadership experience, he has a business owner mentality which provides us with the type of vision we’re seeking to continually expand Hi-Speed’s reach while continuing our tradition of financial stability that has enabled us to thrive for more than 70 years.”

Buffington and Curtis originally met through their involvement in the Phoenix Club and the Memphis Business Journal’s Top 40 Under 40. The two like-minded business leaders stayed in touch and, when the opportunity presented itself, Ben brought B.J. on board to head up Hi-Speed’s financial oversight.

Founded in 1946, Hi-Speed Industrial Service specializes in repair and sales of electro-mechanical equipment (electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, fans and blowers); service, repair and construction of overhead hoist and crane systems; technology-enhanced predictive and preventative maintenance services; and round-the-clock availability.
