Overview

Williams Strategic Advisors is pleased to announce that our client, Sandpiper Supply of Savannah, Georgia has agreed to continue the tradition of a family business with an internal transaction. Founded in 1977, Sandpiper Supply began as a small mom and pop plumbing supply house. Over the last 44 years, the Howard family has grown Sandpiper into one of greater Savannah’s largest diversified wholesale distributors, with a loyal customer base cultivated through decades of quality service. Chat Howard and his sister Christie Ellis, who have worked in the business for many years, represent the next generation of the family to lead Sandpiper Supply. The Beringer Group was engaged in 2020 to help transition Sandpiper to Chat and Christy in the most tax-friendly manner possible. TBG served as the exclusive consultant and financial advisor to the Howards throughout the process.
