Message from President & CEO - William A. Fink

Hello and welcome to Area Wide Protective!

In 1992, I saw a need and vowed to fill it.  All types of construction related companies – public utilities, road builders, surveyors and engineers – were scrutinizing their bottom lines to outsource non-core activities that no longer made sense from a cost and liability standpoint.  Chief among these unwanted tasks was traffic control, and I set out to build a service model to meet this challenge. 

Twenty years later, AWP is truly “America’s Traffic Control Leader.”  Daily, we deploy more than 700 traffic control specialists in 17 states to serve the needs of every major contractor and public utility from Michigan to Alabama, from New York to Florida.  Our “secret to success” is twofold.  First, we employ the best trained safety workforce in the business, with but two minor work zone accidents in 10,000,000 billable service hours.  Second, we are a comprehensive, one stop traffic control shop.  Whether you want to buy or rent equipment, hire a flagging crew, erect a detour, request a scaled drawing, or shut down an interstate highway, one phone call to AWP gets it done.  And, we never close – we respond to more than 2,000 emergency calls each year on a 24/7/365 basis. 

We are also a great place to work – just ask our people who take great pride in maintaining safety on our roads and highways each and every day. 

So, if you are looking for help with tomorrow’s traffic challenges or a great job that could last a lifetime, please call us.  We look forward to hearing from you.
