Our Founder – Jim Wakefield – AGC Knoxville’s 2021 SIR Award
Jim Wakefield founded The Wakefield Corporation in 1986 based on four core values: Service, Integrity, Quality and Excellence. Today, the company is run by his daughter Erin Wakefield Mahan and they are proudly employing the third generation of their family. What he loved most about this industry was not the buildings he left his mark on, but the people that were and are served within those buildings. Jim would have been the first to tell you it was his employees, his TWC family, that helped shape and mold The Wakefield Corporation into what they are today. More important than the company’s achievements were Jim’s philanthropic endeavors including the Boys and Girls Clubs of Knoxville, The Boy Scouts of America Great Smoky Mountain Council, and his service to Cokesbury Church.
