Dive Brief:
- Former NFL wide receiver Torry Holt and former defensive back Terrence Holt formed Holt Brothers Construction Inc. in 2007, and the company now is a partner with other contractors on three large projects in Raleigh, N.C., where the brothers played for North Carolina State University.
- The Holts are working with local contractor Clancy & Theys and Skanska USA on a multi-use project that includes a rail station, with Balfour Beatty and Clancy & Theys on a public safety center for the city and with Danis Group on a renovation of Reynolds Coliseum on the campus of their alma mater.
Dive Insight:
The Holts capitalized on their name recognition from their time as professional players, and they make a connection between characteristics of a successful sports team and how those apply to a construction company. Their website plays up teamwork, precision, focus and discipline.
