Marlborough, MA and Quinton, VA – 8/26/2024 – Wind River Environmental, LLC (“Wind River Environmental”), the nation’s premier provider of non-hazardous liquid waste solutions, announced today the acquisition of Brockwell’s Septic and Service Inc. in Quinton, VA.
Since the early 1970s, Brockwell's Septic and Services Inc. has serviced a broad range of Richmond-area homeowners for septic services; local restaurants and convenience stores for grease trap services; and large commercial, municipal, and state agencies for their wastewater hauling needs. With a simple philosophy of honest and fair treatment, along with a wealth of local market knowledge, Brockwell’s has been a long-time fixture throughout the greater Richmond community, including New Kent, Charles City, Henrico and Hanover counties. Under the leadership of James and Debbie Brockwell, Brockwell’s Septic and Service Inc. has grown tremendously and become the perfect complement to the wastewater services already offered by Wind River Environmental in the Middle Peninsula. Wind River Environmental will maintain the entire team at the existing Quinton location to continue Brockwell’s tradition of superior customer service for both commercial and residential customers.
David Parry, Chief Executive Officer for Wind River Environmental, stated, “With their focus on serving customers across Central Virginia, Brockwell’s Septic and Service is a perfect addition to our current operations in eastern Virginia. By expanding our family of brands, Brockwell’s allows us to offer even more services to customers throughout Virginia by delivering the high-quality work for which both Brockwell’s and Wind River Environmental are known.” He added, “We are especially excited to welcome the entire team from Brockwell’s as they join our Wind River Environmental Family. Brockwell’s technicians provide exemplary customer service, and we intend to grow the existing team and invest additional resources to allow them to meet the ever-expanding needs of our communities.”
James Brockwell stated, "Since acquiring this business from my late brother in 1999, Debbie and I have had the great honor of building our company into the most respected choice for residents, restaurants, and municipalities throughout Richmond and beyond. We are so grateful for our longtime customers and employees for their many years of loyalty.” He added, “We believe Wind River Environmental is the perfect partner as we move to the next chapter of growth for our company. While our technicians are already some of the most qualified in the business, Wind River Environmental brings a whole new network of industry professionals, services, technology, and resources that will strongly enhance our ability to serve our customers.”
