Celebrating 40 Years of Triec Electrical Services: A Journey of Excellence
June 12, 2024
In the vibrant tapestry of Springfield's business landscape, one name stands tall and proud – Triec Electrical Services. As we mark our 40th anniversary, it's not just a milestone; it's a testament to our unwavering commitment, resilience, and the enduring spirit of partnership.
It all began with a vision, forged in the crucible of familial bonds and a legacy of craftsmanship. Fidelity Electric, founded by Richard M. Yeazell in 1952, laid the foundation upon which our journey was built. From humble beginnings in a garage, Richard and his son, R. Scott Yeazell, nurtured a business synonymous with reliability and quality – “Don't Fiddle, Call Fidelity.”
Scott's apprenticeship under his father's tutelage, from the tender age of 12, instilled in him not just the skills of the trade but also a profound understanding of dedication and perseverance. With Richard's passing in 1975, Scott faced the daunting challenge of carrying forward the legacy. Despite trials and tribulations, Scott's resolve remained unshaken, buoyed by the support of his family and friends.
In the crucible of economic downturns and financial hardships, alliances were forged that would shape the destiny of Triec. The camaraderie shared among Scott Yeazell, Dan Heaton of Heaton Electric, and Dennis Jones of B & C Electric blossomed into a symbiotic partnership. United by a common purpose and complementing strengths, they realized that together, they were stronger.
Thus, in 1984, Triec Electrical Services emerged as Springfield's premier electrical contracting company. The amalgamation of expertise, experience, and ethos laid the groundwork for unprecedented growth and success. Triec set forth with a mission to exceed expectations, to innovate, and to serve with integrity.
Through the decades that followed, Triec's journey was marked by milestones of progress and prosperity. From shared office spaces to the sprawling campus at 1630 Progress Drive, each step forward was a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Triec family.
In the face of adversity – be it economic recessions or personal loss – Triec stood resilient. Scott Yeazell's leadership, coupled with the dedication of every member of the Triec family, ensured that challenges were not just overcome but transformed into opportunities for growth.
As the mantle of leadership passed from one generation to the next, the ethos of excellence remained unwavering. Scott's decision to entrust the reins to Kenneth G. Stagner in 2016 was a testament to his vision for continuity and progression.
And now, as we stand at the threshold of our 40th year, we reflect not just on the past but on the promise of the future. Triec Electrical Services remains committed to our founding principles of quality, reliability, and community engagement.
We express our heartfelt gratitude to our loyal customers, steadfast partners, and the Springfield community for their unwavering support throughout this journey.
Together, we look forward to the next chapter, fueled by the same passion and purpose that have defined us for four decades.
Here's to 40 years of excellence, and to many more years of lighting the way forward – together, as one Triec family.
