Timber Harvesting magazine Associate Editor Jessica Johnson travels to Johnston, South Carolina to visit TH’s 2018 Logging Business Of The Year: Log Creek Timber. At five years old Tim Williams was the boss of the family’s peach field in Edgefield, SC, his sister Martha Sanders says with a laugh. She then points to her other brother, Reg, saying that by five he was telling a mechanic how to fix something. Fast forward a few years (okay, decades…) and those leadership skills from Tim and Reg, supported by Martha’s talents have grown their father’s logging operation to a family of companies that includes a timber procurement company employing 20 harvesting crews, 10 of which are Williams’ company crews, a trucking company with 40 power units with a dedicated dispatch and logistical staff, on-site NAPA Auto Parts store with a Stihl dealership and a variety of other diversified interests. Tim, Reg and Martha have been working in the family business since the 1990s.
