The WD Legends: Our People

One of the most special parts of W.D. Matthews is its people. Their longtime employees are known as the WD Legends. Many have spent years, sometimes a lifetime, building the company and serving New England businesses. These employees bring decades of hands-on experience, industry knowledge, problem-solving skills, and customer relationships. Their expertise cannot be learned from a textbook. It comes from years of hard work, experience, and learning on the job. They pass that knowledge down to the next generation, keeping the company’s traditions and values alive.

Service That Keeps New England Working

Their relationship with customers doesn’t end when the equipment is delivered. Highly skilled, extensively trained technicians travel directly to customer locations to diagnose problems and make repairs where the machines work. Dependable parts, preventative maintenance, and field service help minimize downtime. Equipment downtime costs money and can bring an entire operation to a standstill. They help customers keep their equipment performing throughout its working life. Their goal is to let customers focus on running their businesses instead of worrying about whether their equipment will be ready when they need it. They provide the equipment, expertise, service, and relationships customers can rely on for the long haul.
