Hiram and Glen Thompson might be brothers, but according to their friends, they're as different as night and day.
The owners of Thompson Building Wrecking Co. Inc. in Augusta have distinct ways of doing things -- but their forces combined makes the recipe for a successful company.
For the most part, Hiram, 57, is the "office guy," and Glen, 56, is the "field man" at the family-owned demolition company.
Hiram serves as president and oversees duties such as procurement of equipment, human resources, accounts payable and receivable, and the bidding process. Glen, the company's vice president, serves as project manager over all asbestos abatement (removal) and demolition projects, and he assists with procurement of equipment.

Thompson Wrecking Co. started with a home office where Edward's wife, Susan, answered the phone and helped keep the business going.
A native of Emanuel County, Edward G. Thompson had an innate determination to make his way in life and our community.
He came to Augusta as a young man and worked for Graniteville Mills and SRS before beginning his own business.
After more than 45 years of service to the Augusta community, the third generation of Thompson's is now taking its place in
the business.
