ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Bob Hull Inc. (BHI) was founded by Robert and Carlene Hull in 1979 and the corporation was formed. BHI is located in Frankfort, Kansas. BHI has done telephone work in just about every corner of the state over the past 40 years. There have been numerous projects and significant changes since 1979. One of the biggest changes that came was turning the ownership over to Richard and David Hull. This was done because Robert had been diagnosed with cancer in the early 1990’s. After a long battle, Robert passed away on January 1, 2002. Carlene passed away May 7, 2010. In 2012, David Hull retired. At the beginning of 2023 Richard Hull retired. With the retirement of David and Richard the new owners Matthew Wells and Kenneth Aubert felt keeping the name was significant. They carry the same core values that were taught to them by all of the Hull’s. Bob Hull Inc. employs between 15 and 25 full-time employees. You can trust that Bob Hull Inc. will complete the job on time. Bob Hull Inc. has been in business for over 40 years and has a respected reputation in this industry.
