Meet Kenneth Hudson—though around Ledwell, everyone knows him as Bubba.
Bubba has been part of the Ledwell family since 2005. He started out in the Tank Shop, where he built the keels for our water tanks—a critical component for one of our most dependable products. After five years in the shop, he transitioned to forklift driving, where he now spends his days delivering material and parts across the Fabrication, Tank, and Parts Production shops.
There’s no such thing as a typical day for Bubba.
“You never know what kind of day it will be,” he says, “but you know it will be good because of the people.”
That kind of perspective speaks to what makes Ledwell tick—good folks showing up and getting the job done, together.
When it comes to Ledwell’s core values, the one that resonates most with Bubba is Family. “If you need something, they are here for you,” he says. It’s that kind of support that keeps him motivated. “It’s a great place to work. If it weren’t, I wouldn’t still be here.”
Bubba’s positive attitude and strong work ethic don’t go unnoticed. As Tony Murphy, Maintenance Foreman, puts it, “He is always ready to help, and anything you ask him to do, he does it with a can-do attitude and a smile!”
Outside of work, Bubba stays busy with his two sons and hobbies that keep him moving: riding four—wheelers, fishing, and bowling in a weekly league.
For two decades, Bubba has played a key role in keeping production rolling. His dedication, reliability, and down-to-earth attitude embody the Ledwell spirit: taking pride in what we build and always looking out for one another.
We’re proud to have Bubba on the team and grateful he’s part of what makes Ledwell strong.
