In January of 1983 Scott & Murphy, Inc. was established to provide concrete construction services to the Bowling Green area.
Our company was previously the Concrete Division of Scotty’s Contracting, Inc. (1972), for which G. Michael Murphy had served as Division Manager. The newly formed company was a partnership between Scotty’s President, James D. Scott, and G. Michael Murphy.
The following year (1984), Danny J. Daniel joined Scott & Murphy, Inc. to coordinate and manage an added division for General Building Construction.
In 1988 G. Michael Murphy was given the opportunity to purchase the entire ownership of Scott & Murphy, Inc. from Mr. Scott.
In January of 1998, Danny Daniel became a partner and was named President of the Building Division of Scott & Murphy, Inc. This division was renamed Scott, Murphy & Daniel, LLC to recognize that partnership.
