We believe in doing business the right way. It’s the way our founder, John Caddell, did it, the way our business was engineered from the beginning. It’s the way we have grown from a small family business to an international, employee-owned success story, and the way we can walk boldly into the future. We do business the Caddell Way.
The Caddell Way can be called a creed, a culture statement, a set of values or many other trendy business terms. But at the end of the day, it’s a mindset. It’s a commitment we make to each other and to our stakeholders.
Most Recent Caddell Way Award Winners
Caddell believes it’s important to recognize and reward team members who are exceptional in exhibiting The Caddell Way through their actions. In 2018, a special award was created for employees to nominate their peers for The John & Joyce Caddell Way Award. Each business unit selects award finalists in the categories of “Field,” “Operations,” “Up & Comer,” and “Support,” who receive a trophy and cash award. The overall winner is selected from among the finalists and is announced at the corporate Christmas party. The winner receives a substantial cash prize and trophy and is memorialized on a permanent display at the company’s headquarters in Montgomery.

Chris Oseguera – Up & Comer Award
The overall winner for 2025 was Chris Oseguera. Chris was nominated for demonstrating outstanding leadership and delivering a successful project under challenging conditions.

Customers repeatedly praise his responsiveness, professionalism and clarity.
