About TBC

There are some family traditions stronger than others; and to us at Tom Brigman Contractors, Inc., quality service drives our work and services. Tom Brigman Contractors, or TBC, was incorporated in 1972 into the field of public utilities; and was formed by Mr. Lloyd Brigman and Mr. Harvey Kinard. Lloyd served as president of TBC from 1973 until 2004; and during this time, constructed a small business built by hard-work ethics and a sense of personal accountability. In 1997, Blake Brigman assumed position as Corporate Secretary and began purchasing shares of the company until he was sole shareholder in 2004. In 2004, Blake assumed position as President, continuing the TBC family values of his father before him. Today, TBC’s has a great track record in hometown Newberry, SC - and we have a good history of satisfaction and  are dedicated to getting the job done.

Key Personnel

Blake Brigman, TBC President:

Blake Brigman is the son of Lloyd Brigman, company founder and patriarch; and grew up around the business and inner-workings of TBC’s services. Blake graduated from Newberry High School in 1991 and then attended Clemson University, achieving his bachelor degree in Construction Science Management – graduating in 1995. Upon leaving college, Blake returned to his father’s company and was a project manager from January 1996 to December 1996; in addition to being Vice President from January 1997 to December 2002. Blake then bought out his father, the former CEO and President, and assumed the position of President of TBC January 2003 – becoming the current CEO. Blake’s ability stems from the unique experience of growing up in the industry, personally seeing projects unfold, and keeping a pulse on the current technology of water and sewer infrastructure. Concurrent with this advantage is his knowledge of right and wrong in the field, which goes hand in hand with the personal relationships he has with his employees. Blake is available upon requests.

Lloyd Brigman, former TBC President and current Corporate Secretary:
Lloyd Brigman was raised in Newberry, SC, in the late fifties and early sixties. Lloyd had always been the entrepreneurial, no non-sense type but upon graduating high school pursued a teaching degree with Newberry College – a small, private Lutheran college located also in Newberry, SC. Upon reevaluating his profession, Lloyd turned his love of hard work to the growing water and sewer industry, which at the time was in high demand in Newberry. From a single septic tank truck, Lloyd built a business on determination and honest work, which in 1970 would be incorporated as Tom Brigman Contractors - a name arisen from his Grandfather. Lloyd would go on to grow his company, add employees and invest in his local community. As he once put it, “the key to success is getting up earlier than the other guy, and not leaving until the job is done.” Lloyd, although retired, is still an active part of the community and when needed; TBC. Lloyd served as President for 31 years, from 1973 to 2004. Lloyd is Corporate Secretary but is retired and not available.
