Mills Fence has been a family-owned fence contractor in Walton and the Cincinnati area since 1970. Over the years we've grown to become the leading supplier of fence, railing and access controls to homeowners, contractors and businesses with the largest inventory in the Tri-State region. Our recent expansion into other markets has resulted in us now being a company of over 130 employees and 5 locations, with more to come. This growth allows us to offer a wide selection of quality products at extremely competitive prices. Quality, service, selection & value is how we've built our reputation, so whether you're interested in fence or railing, installation or material-only, we'd be honored to be your supplier.
"There's an inherent trust and understanding that comes with working alongside family," says John Lyttle. "The role everyone plays is based on their strengths and interests. Ken has always enjoyed the 'wheeling & dealing' part of purchasing, while I've always enjoyed selling. Ashley has a science background, so she has an understanding of the more technical aspects of gate operators." Although Mills Fence Company is still a family business at its core, it has evolved into a "business of families."
"Several employees have brought their own family members into the company. Fathers working with their sons and brothers working together has also been a long-standing tradition amongst Mills employees," says Allen. While working side-by-side with the people you trust the most is rewarding, Ken has always strived for employees to maintain a work/life balance.
"It's a joy to come to work because our people want to do what is best for the business and our customers," says Lyttle. "However, it's important that our employees don't bring business home with them. We do our best to follow Ken's advice that fence issues can only be addressed and fixed at the office."
Growth has always been important to Ken, and Mills Fence Company doesn't have plans to stop any time soon.
