Divine Concrete, Bonesteel, announces the addition of partner, Sara Nolan. Sara is the sister of owner/general manager Andy Divine, and daughter of founders John and Kathy Divine. She brings nearly a decade of experience in the construction industry to the well diversified staff of Divine Concrete.
Sara graduated from Bonesteel/Fairfax High School in 2000 and went on to pursue her bachelor’s degree in Business/Spanish/German from the University of Minnesota. After the completion of her degree, she began her career in sales with the Hilti organization. Hilti produces construction tools and innovative applications for the construction industry.
She held various roles within Hilti and, over the course of 9 years, relocated with the company on several occasions. In 2009 she completed her MBA with Regis University of Denver, CO. Sara and her husband William Nolan, originally from Butte, NE, are excited to move back home to raise their family. They have an 18 month old boy, Connor, and another son due in April.
“I am extremely excited to join the Divine Concrete team. I look forward to working with a great group of colleagues and gaining a greater understanding of the business,” says Sara. “I have long admired the persistence and hard work my parents and brother have contributed to the organization to make it the success it is today.”
Andy Divine shares that excitement. “Divine Concrete is growing rapidly,” he says. “The progression and direction this company is taking, makes the addition of another owner essential.”
Divine Concrete is based in Bonesteel, with redi-mix batch plants also located in Colome, SD and Spencer, NE. “We are currently expanding our infrastructure in Colome. Dirt work began for a shop building in January and we will base a construction crew out of Colome beginning with this 2015 season,” adds Divine. It is this type of growth that made Andy realize he could use a hand. Sara had expressed interest in the past of becoming part of the family business, and given her professional experience, it was a natural decision. “Sara will do a great job,” says Andy.
Divine Concrete celebrates 40 years of business in 2015. They began in 1975 with the redi-mix plant in Bonesteel, and have since developed into a full service concrete company, offering professional concrete construction services for residential, commercial, and agricultural projects, as well as a full line of quality precast products including feed bunks, storm shelters, septic tanks, and steps. “40 years is a big deal,” says Andy, proud of this accomplishment. “We pride ourselves on delivering quality products in a timely manner, with courteous and knowledgeable employees,” he adds, “we look forward to continuing that tradition.”
