Toccoa woman is latest ‘Face of Manufacturing’

September 15, 2015 By Andrew Smith

Ashley Jordan is a young woman out of Toccoa, GA, whose father founded Meadowbrook Machine & Tool (MMT).  Growing up she had no interest in joining the family business and instead dreamed of a day that she could teach elementary school.

Faces of Manufacturing in GeorgiaAfter graduating college a semester early, she joined MMT with the intent of working there until the start of the school year.  Instead, she quickly found an interest in the company, the products they were making, and their customers. She then went to North Georgia Technical College, earned her machining degree, and is now planning a career in manufacturing.

Be sure to view her video as she talks about getting fired by her father from their family business, her experience in trade school, and what she hopes to do with her future in manufacturing: https://youtu.be/hW-TICWRS8Q
