What AshBritt does

AshBritt, Inc. is a privately held, family-controlled environmental services and emergency management contractor headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Founded in 1992 by Randy Perkins following Hurricane Andrew, the company operates as a turnkey rapid-response disaster recovery contractor providing debris management, emergency services, logistics, construction, marine services, oil spill cleanup, snow and ice support, restoration, training, and consulting services. Its core technology and operational capability centers on large-scale debris management site operations (clearance, removal, reduction, recycling, and disposal) supported by a workforce with over 200 years of combined senior management experience and more than 500 disaster recovery missions completed across 22 U.S. states and the Caribbean.

The company serves federal agencies (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA), state emergency management departments (Florida, Massachusetts, Texas), local municipalities, and select institutional clients such as Miami-Dade County Public Schools. AshBritt holds prime contractor status with USACE across the South Pacific and South Atlantic divisions and has participated in 60+ federally declared major disasters, all under FEMA oversight. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-government via competitive bidding and pre-positioned emergency management contracts. The company's revenue model is project-based government contracting, with pricing negotiated per-project and not publicly disclosed. The company operates an internal DIMS (Debris Information Management) client portal and an ABML (AshBritt Medical Logistics) sub-brand for healthcare logistics support during disaster response.

The company remains under family ownership with Randy Perkins as Chairman and Brittany Perkins Castillo as CEO since 2016; under her leadership the company has managed over $750 million in cumulative revenue. Charles "Dow" Knight was promoted to President in March 2024. Recent strategic activity has focused on vertical expansion (ABML sub-brand, COVID-19 response services, new verticals per the President's mandate), geographic expansion into the Caribbean, government relations buildout (Director of Government Relations hire in 2020), and elevated federal policy engagement through U.S. Chamber of Commerce participation. The business is highly dependent on the frequency and severity of federally declared disasters, making revenue inherently event-driven and cyclical.
