Sadly, we lost William in March 2018. We miss his presence, guidance, and friendship but his leadership carries on as we continue to grow and prosper. It was an honor to work both for and with him. William was the Co-founder and Chairman of the Board of the BPP group of companies. He was largely responsible for the overall visions and missions for the companies as well as the banking, treasury, and marketing functions.

He had a particular and overriding penchant for our customers and enjoyed consulting and informing them about the best options for their timber and long-life building product needs. Born in Jamaica in the West Indies, William graduated from Marquette University in Milwaukee with a degree in business management. He moved his family to Texas in the ‘70s and started the BPP Group of companies in the ‘90s.

William was a long-time member of The Houston Yacht Club and enjoyed sailing and racing his yacht, Picante. Spending time with his children and growing brood of grandchildren kept him young and energized.
