2025 Leon Osborne Community Service Award Recipient Announced

Osborne Company News

Osborne Wood Products, Inc. has been fortunate to be able to support local community initiatives over the years. Leon Osborne, founder, has always had a passion for helping the community and initiated various opportunities for employees and the company to be involved. This focus on community service led to an award which is presented at the company’s annual employee appreciation event.

Established in 2024 following Leon’s retirement, the "Leon Osborne Community Service Award" recognizes exceptional community service from a member of the Osborne Wood Products team. Employees are anonymously nominated and whoever receives the most votes becomes the winner. This year, the recipient of the award is Cody Simpson, one of our IT specialists who works as a volunteer firefighter for the Eastonollee Fire Department.

“Leon Osborne spent his 45 years leading Osborne Wood Products engaging in and encouraging local community service. At his retirement, it seemed fitting to establish an annual award for the members of the Osborne team who continue to embody that vision for service,” said Jeremy McClain, CEO. “I am pleased to see Cody Simpson recognized by his colleagues for the important work he does with Eastanollee Fire Department.”

In addition to his recognition, Osborne Wood Products will be donating $500 to the fire department.
