Lynchburg Ready

What Lynchburg Ready does

Lynchburg Ready Mix is a family-owned producer of ready-mix concrete and related construction materials headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. Founded in 1947 by J.C. McCarthy under the motto "find a need and fill it," the company operates four batch plants across Central Virginia — Lynchburg, Amherst, Bedford (via sister company Bedford Ready Mix, established in the early 1950s), and Appomattox — supported by an in-house truck fleet. It serves builders, contractors, and construction companies in the region with a primary offering of ready-mix concrete in customizable mix designs, supplemented by crushed concrete, barricade and retaining-wall blocks, septic tanks in 1,000 and 1,500 gallon capacities, aggregates, and a concrete accessories and admixtures line.

The underlying technology consists of state-of-the-art batch plants and a modern truck fleet, with mix quality assured by VDOT- and ACI-certified technicians and an on-staff NRMCA Level-4-certified concrete technologist, backed by a dedicated quality control laboratory and a full-time QC manager. Ordering is phone-based through a dispatch team with 24-hour recommended lead time; products are delivered to job sites or picked up at any of the four plants. Distribution and marketing rely on industry association memberships (ACI, NRMCA, ASCC, NAHB), local chamber affiliations, and a Facebook page.

The business model is straightforward transaction-based sales of ready-mixed concrete and ancillary products, with quote-only pricing that is not publicly disclosed. There is no SaaS, subscription, or platform component. Revenue is not disclosed and the company has no external investors, no M&A history, and no patents. Ownership remains with the O'Brian family: following Bobby O'Brian's retirement after a 50-year career, his son Robert O'Brian serves as President and son-in-law Jason Landes as Vice President, completing a third-generation family succession.
