About HP

Come work for a company that gives back to its employees! Hughes-Peters has been doing business since 1921. In 1999, three individuals purchased the company and decided to take their expert industry experience and develop a growing and profitable company. Our owners have worked extremely hard over the past 25 years to not only create a successful, profitable and growing business, but also to cultivate a work environment where employees feel valued, appreciated and supported.

In 2021, our owners wanted to recognize that the company did not achieve its greatest success without the loyalty, hard work and dedication of its employees. In showing their appreciation, they sold 49% of the company into an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, as known as an ESOP.
