We are sad to report the passing of Bill Branch, the founder and visionary of The Branch Group companies. Bill is widely considered one of the most influential businessmen and charitable citizens the Roanoke Valley has ever known. Upon his retirement, he generously and unreservedly offered the companies to all of our organization’s employees through an ESOP plan. The effects of this move remain a driving part of our culture of accountability today as every Branch employee-owner has a vested interest in everything we do, every day. We are eternally grateful. May you rest in peace Bill. There will never be another like you.
