Grant Rawlins joined R&B Wire Products in Santa Ana, Calif., on Aug. 11, 2016âexactly 50 years after his grandfather, Rea Rawlins, purchased the laundry cart company, and 42 years after his father, Rick, joined R&B.
“Grant's timing was actually a coincidence, although in many ways it was truly symbolic,” says CEO Rick Rawlins. Grant graduated from Pepperdine University in April with a degree in integrated marketing communication; he's now R&B's sales and marketing coordinator. “His timing was perfect, because we had been looking for a new member of our team with an education in ‘modern' marketing,” his father says.
