39 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 10, ISSUE 6 TE ICHROEB & SONS, LTD. As you might expect, and as the name suggests, Teichroeb & Sons is truly a family affair. Pater familias Jacob Teichroeb was the founder and chief executive officer. It originated in 1976, when Jacob established a road-construction company to build sugar roads for the Belizean sugar industries. In 1997, the company became known as Teichroeb & Sons. One of the biggest construction companies nationwide, it’s also a well-known donor/sponsor of different organizations, from sports to public safety and the environment. Peter is joined by his brothers, Josh (plant manager) and Cornie Teichroeb (quarry manager). Youngest brother Dennis is a heavy equipment operator, while David and Frank Blatz are the company’s lead foremen. Peter and Elizabeth Teichroeb have three daughters, Meisha, Britny and Leann, and two sons, Bradon and Triston. “Bradon works with the company,” his proud dad revealed. “He operates heavy equipment and also holds a degree in civil engineering. Britny also works for the company as the accountant.” Peter attended Blue Creek High School. He has a degree in project management and many certifications in risk-assessment and contract-management. What inspired him to get into the construction business? It was all about following in his hardworking, dedicated dad’s footsteps. “My father was in the business,” he said. “I’ve been working for him since I was 17.” What’s a typical workday like for Peter? There’s no such thing. “Mondays,” he said, “we have our weekly meeting to get everyone on track for the week. Tuesdays through Thursdays, I’m out in the field with the different crews, supervising earthworks, drainage, concrete works and pavement.
