Fourth Generation Joins A. Boilard Sons Inc.

SPRINGFIELD — A. Boilard Sons Inc., a local, family-owned and operated supplier of quality building supplies since 1936, announced that Matthew Boilard has joined the family business. His appointment as sales associate continues a legacy of family leadership, now in its fourth generation.

“This company has always been a part of my life, and I look forward to adding my own outside perspective to the business,” he said. “I’m proud to have an opportunity to be part of a family business, and my goals are to grow the business and look for new opportunities to help it succeed.”

Boilard is a 2011 graduate of Bentley University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in corporate finance and accounting. While he hopes to advance his career into a financial role, he says it is important for him to start in a sales position to learn the business operations.

“We are thrilled to have Matt here applying his business acumen to our day-to-day operations,” said Mike Boilard, Matthew’s father.
