Our Company
One principal.
One focus.
Munroe Best has over 30 years’ experience in the construction products and building materials industry in family-owned, private equity backed and publicly traded companies. He is considered an expert in industrial distribution, turnarounds and acquisition integration.
Most recently, Best was the President of the South Division at Beacon Building Products, the $9.8 billion distributor of roofing and building materials with over 550 facilities across the U.S. and Canada. In that role, he led the $3.0B revenue and 2,100 employee South Division and served on Beacon’s Executive Committee, as well as its IT and Disclosure Committees.
Since joining Beacon following the acquisition of his family business, Best Distributing, in 2000, Munroe held progressively senior roles during a period of tremendous growth. During his tenure, Beacon moved from private equity ownership to a publicly traded company and grew revenue from $400 million to over $9.8 billion through acquisitions and organic growth initiatives.
He was an integral part of pre- and post-acquisition integration involving more than $600 million in businesses, led the turnaround of several struggling geographies, and helped roll out Beacon’s “Ambition 25” strategic plan, which contributed to significant shareholder value creation and the eventual $11 billion sale of the company to QXO in 2025.
