Family CuLTURE

Loyal and Stable

As a multi-generation, family-owned business, we’ve built the best team in the industry with a culture of caring, and we treat each one of our employees as an equally valuable member of the McDonald York family. Their passion, commitment, experience and integrity are a central part of every project that we deliver.

FAMILY OWNED

Family culture lives strong at McDonald York Building Company and is rooted in McDonald York being a family-owned company. The caring attitude and longevity of McDonald and York family ownership is at the heart of our company’s success. Our family core value of operating with our employees’ best interest in mind at all times has contributed to high levels of employee morale, pride, and retention.

To ensure a family-owned business into the future, an ownership transition plan that will occur over several years is in place. Jack McDonald’s 3 children and Smedes York 2 children will be the next generation of family members to continue the 50/50 partnership between the McDonald and York families.

FAMILY OWNED

Our family culture starts with McDonald York being a family-owned company. Jack McDonald and Smedes York’s strong belief in family values is at the heart of our company’s success. They believe in a culture of rewarding employees and sharing our successes with our most valued assets: our people.

McDonald York has high employee stability and retention. We provide higher than average employee salaries, and employees receive more training compared to similar companies.

Board of Directors

McDonald York’s board of directors reflects our commitment to family culture. Ten of the company’s 11 board seats are occupied by McDonald and York family members with the company’s President & CEO occupying the remaining seat on the board. A board task force called NextGen consisting of 3 McDonald, 2 York children, and the company CEO exists to develop active participation by future owners in corporate governance and engagement with company leadership. Their task is to build on the legacy of success and to reassure our clients, partners, and employees that both the family culture and core values that they have experienced for decades will remain for generations to come.
