John Miller: Busby Cabinets

“So, I started talking with Jack Busby, who was the founder of this company and had been running it for almost 40 plus years when I came across it. So, he and his wife started it in his dad’s goat barn here in Alachua County in Florida and we’ve got four locations throughout the state of Florida, which have just under 70 employees.

Have 35,000 square foot facility here in Alachua where we produce everything. And he had really built himself a very nice niche in the luxury residential, cabinetry, and millwork world. And, it checked all the boxes when I was looking for a company, one that had been started by somebody, run by someone, and had reached a point where then I could come in and apply the things that I’ve learned in my career to help grow this business as well.”

Welcome to a brand-new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today, your host Steve Larosiliere is joined by John Miller, the present CEO of Busby Cabinets.

John founded the corporation with the goal of establishing his own company to manage and oversee. Before he purchased Busby Cabinets, he began his search roughly three years prior. When he discovered Busby Cabinets, which was founded by Jack Busby and had been in operation for about 40 years, he immediately struck up a conversation with him. Jack really carved out a pretty beautiful place for himself in the area of luxury residences, cabinetry, and millwork. It met all of John’s criteria for a company, including being in a position where he could join and use the skills he had acquired over his career to advance the company.

In this episode, John discusses his ideal client, what brought him to this particular manufacturing sector, and the moment in his business when he realized he needed INNERGY, all that, and a lot more!

“And then the planning tools that INNERGY provides and the tracking and the purchasing and all of the things that the platform offers us was huge.

And we made the determination, we actually made the decision to invest in INNERGY back in 2020.”

Separating your Product/Services from Commodity

Although a successful brand may encompass numerous distinct concepts, it must never be interchangeable. Every business owner’s greatest fear is commoditization; after all, if customers can’t recognize the distinction between your product and that of your rivals, they won’t have any incentive to stick with your company. John affirms that they weren’t only constructing boxes and slapping them against the wall. They were constructing something that would improve the living quarters of their customers. One of their objectives is for their clients to enter the final room and break down in tears of delight due to the beauty that has been translated into what will be their home. Something you can’t purchase at the nearby hardware store.

“We’re just not building boxes and throwing them on the wall.

We’re building something that’s going to affect their living space positively, one of our goals is that, I want our clients to walk into their finished space and drop to their knees, and have tears of joy because of how this is translated into the beauty that’s going to be their home.”
