This week, Dr. Sherlock’s Family Business Management class welcomed members of the Ergon team to the classroom, where students learned firsthand what it looks like to build and sustain a family business across generations!

Students had the opportunity to hear from Paul Pinkerton, Corporate HR Director, who shared an overview of Ergon along with internship and career opportunities within the organization.

Amy Walker and Barton Lampton, third-generation family members, also shared their personal experiences working within the family business founded by their grandfather, Mr. Leslie Lampton. Students learned how the family governs the business, why remaining privately owned is important to them, and how they have intentionally built and maintained Ergon’s company culture across three generations.

We are so thankful to Paul, Amy, and Barton for taking the time to speak with our students and share their experiences!
