Bernie Reed, President & CEO of Reed’s Metals, was recently honored with a CEO Award of Mississippi 2015 at the Old Capitol Inn in Jackson. The award was presented by the Mississippi Business Journal.

    “I’m so honored and humbled,” Reed said. “We’ve come so far since we started in 1998 out of a little shed in Lawrence County. We used to cut metal back then with a hand shear and now we have eight locations serving the Southeast U.S. I’m very grateful.”

    Reed’s Metals is a metal manufacturer specializing in metal roofing, metal buildings and pole barns that has eight locations across the Southeast United States. The company was also recently listed in the “Mississippi 100”—the state’s top privately owned companies.

    Each year, the Mississippi Business Journal recognizes leaders around the state of Mississippi who demonstrate excellence among the top executives in their field–the CEOs whom have helped their companies achieve strong growth and success, and have made a profound impact on their company and community.  

    Honorees are selected in categories of Nonprofit CEOs, Rising Stars, Large Companies, Medium Companies and Small Companies.
