As a firm headquartered in South Carolina, CEO John Boyd felt it was
important to honor the heritage and history of the state when selecting a company name. The Poinsett Bridge in Northern Greenville
County is the oldest intact bridge (1820) in South Carolina and once served as an important link in State Road, which connected
Charleston with the mountain communities in North Carolina. The bridge is named for Joel R. Poinsett, director of the S.C.
Board of Public Works during the design of the road. Poinsett gained greater fame for introducing the poinsettia to the United
States. The graceful 14-foot Gothic arch stone bridge spans the Little Gap Creek.
Like the stones that have upheld the Poinsett Bridge for almost 200 years, the firm's principles are guided by the
strength and integrity of the individuals that represent the company.
