Haydon Family Values
At Haydon, employees are guided by a company culture forged by the importance of family — a driving force that has been instrumental in building and growing the Phoenix- based general contractor as it celebrates more than three decades in Arizona.
The Haydon culture is the foundation on which the firm builds relationships with its employees, clients and industry partners.
It’s hard to express how proud I am of our company and its growth over the years. Haydon is a family business that started here in Phoenix and is still going strong. The foothold we’ve had in this market is amazing and I am excited to continue building on the legacy my dad started. His vision laid the foundation, and I’m ready to take it even further. – Katie Haydon, President & CEO
