All of us know our business and are qualified to help you, our customers. Edso Harding President and Co-Owner I have to say in my life time I have taken a lot of scrap! I have worked full-time during the summers while going to school and full-time year-round after my college years. I have never been employed by anyone other than Harding Metals, Inc. My father died at age 61 and at age 27, my younger brother and I inherited the company. As a rookie, I remember when identifying metals like Hastelloy, Waspalloy, Nickel, Monel, Inconel, Tantalum, Titanium, and Tungsten, etc. were learned on the job by spark testing and acid testing. Now we have hand held metal analyzers that give you results in seconds. My wife Sheila and I love living in our area. If you don’t find us on the slopes or on the boat we just may be traveling. Oh, you might find me at the office too! Joe Harding Vice President and Co-Owner I am co-owner and heads up purchasing of commercial scrap accounts. I spend a good deal of my time visiting customers and making sure Harding Metals, Inc. is providing the best service in the industry. Over the years I have been instrumental in developing new and updated designs for equipment we use to service our customers. Along with Ryan Chadbourn and Rheal St. Germain, we have led the way for Harding Metals, Inc. to recondition oils and coolants from many of the machine shops we currently service. I enjoy running, hiking, winter skiing and spending time with my wife Laura, son Jameson and daughter Julia. Dan Daley General Manager My name is Dan Daley but everyone calls me Dan the Man and I have worked at Harding Metals for over 25 years. As GM, I oversee day-to-day operations along with a little bit of dispatch, buying and selling. I am also in charge of our shipping schedule and make sure there is a fresh pot of coffee (junkman java) ready every morning. I enjoy hiking and hunting in my free time. Eds Harding VP of Operations I’ve worked all over the yard through the years and now my primary job is managing it. I make sure incoming material is processed correctly and organized while helping manage the inventory of finished product. A lot of my focus is on keeping our yard clean and our workers busy and happy. I also do some buying and can make myself available to visit customers and price loads. When I am not in the scrap yard, I enjoy outdoor sports like surfing, skiing and golf. Lorcan LaFleur Controller Controller by Day, Out-of-Controller by Night. I have loved Accounting since the first time I learned about Debits & Credits 20 years ago. Now, all these years later, I still love Accounting, but love the Team I am doing it with even more! I am new to the scrap metal industry and am excited to learn anything, and everything, I can about it! When not in the office, you can find me and my wife at concerts, movies, or a good old-fashioned pub. Debbie Leahy Office Manger I have been with Harding Metals since 1979 and was hired by Mr. Edwin Harding Jr. I have done a variety of jobs including receivable, payables and human resources, from carbon paper to paperless invoicing. I have seen the positive progression in the office and in the scrap yard. Who knew a scrap metal yard could be so clean! In my free time, I like flower and vegetable gardening, sewing and reading. Robert Chadbourn Warehouse Manager, Receiving I started working at Harding Metals in 1995 when I was 13 years old. I’ve done a bit of everything including driving trucks over the road, but primarily, I’ve been on the warehouse dock where we do receiving and shipping. I’ve seen us grow from prepping a few trailers a day to over a dozen. All the incoming materials from our account is initially weighed and graded through our scale. The combination of shipments and deliveries along with getting our own trucks ready for account pick-ups is a busy job and I must say we handle a lot of scrap. I have three kids and we enjoy camping and BBQing by the pool. Ryan Chadbourn Shipping Manager As a kid, I worked summers infringing the boundaries of child labor laws, but I just could not get enough scrap (I love it!). I have been a part of Harding Metals’ evolution into a major regional scrap yard; it’s one the cleanest yards I’ve ever been to and we are proud of that. My current position is shipping manager and I also help with inventory control. If I can get a few days off, I usually take a page out of Jimmy Buffet’s book and head for a beach somewhere warm with a cold drink. Rheal St. Germain Facility Engineer If you need something fixed, I am your man. If your looking for a good spot to kill a deer, I am not saying anything (unless you have some fine whiskey). I oversee maintenance throughout our facility, including trucks, lifts, balers, etc. Our industry can be tough on equipment and its not an easy job keeping up. Over the past decade or so, I have also had a lot to do with the evolution of the company from operations in our yard to how finished product is delivered and even how we collect scrap from suppliers. Matt Willmer Buyer I’ve been in the scrap metal industry since 2010 and with Harding Metals since 2014. I spend a lot of time on the road visiting accounts and recruiting new customers. I enjoy salt water fishing on the boat. Jameson Harding Account Executive I started working at Harding Metals when I was 13 years old and have been full time ever since graduating college. I have learned the scrap metal business from the bottom up and have worked everything from stacking aluminum rims to running our grapple crane. Nowadays my primary job is working with both our industrial and dealer accounts to assure we provide the best service in the industry. If you are looking to recycle your scrap, I can help you set up a customized scrap metal recycling program tailored to your needs. When I am not working you can find me on the slopes skiing or on the seacoast surfing. Kevin Campbell Human Resources/Environmental I am the HR & EHS Manger. The crew calls me Kevbobb. I came to work for Harding Metals in the summer of 2010. I do a lot of behind the scenes work keeping certifications up to date, our yard environmentally sound and our crew/customers safe. I recently obtained my private pilot’s license, and my favorite day of the month is PIZZA DAY, when we provide lunch and safety/operational tips for the employees! If you would like to work for Harding Metals come see me. Drivers We, always, have a crew of at least ten skilled drivers. They are trained to be helpful, courteous, and respectful. When it comes to picking up material at your facility, we are confident and proud sending our drivers in to get the job done professionally. John Chalmers Buyer I have been at Harding Metals since 2010. My primary responsibilities are to provide pricing and other information required by our customers in the recycling material acquisition process. I also create and implement computer systems that streamline processing and help Harding Metals provide superior customer service. Outside of work I enjoy basketball, tennis and golf. Donna Johnson Administration/ Reception I love the high-pace of action in the scrap yard—the busier the better! With up to 15 outbound tractor trailer loads a day (not including our inbound material), we get busy. I am usually paying customers, scaling trucks in and out, answering the phones among other things. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, 4 daughters, step-son and 3 grandkids. I also have 2 dogs! Rob Erickson Administration After graduating from the University of Colorado Boulder I moved east to join the Harding Metals team in the summer of 2019. At Harding my focus is Accounting and working to keep our office running smoothly and efficiently to ensure we can best service our hundreds of business partners. I also help out our front office with dispatch support and day-to-day operations. When I’m not in the office you will most likely find me enjoying the outdoors with friends golfing, boating, or snowboarding.
