Team Hancock is thrilled to welcome Andy Carberry as the General Manager of our Salisbury, MA location. Andy has spent 41 years in the industry—in virtually every position—from load builder, operations, lumberyard design, and general manager. For the past 16 years, Andy was the General Manager of Middleton Building Supply in Hampton, NH.
Following Hancock Lumber’s June 2025 acquisition of Johnson Lumber and the former owners transition to retirement, the Salisbury GM role became available. The acquisition marked Hancock Lumber’s first lumberyard in Massachusetts and its twelfth overall—a prime location just two miles from the coast and minutes away from I-95 and I-495.
Chief Operating Officer, Mark Hopkins, commented on the latest GM addition, “We are excited to welcome Andy Carberry to our team as General Manager of our Salisbury location. Andy brings over four decades of industry experience, deep operational knowledge, and a proven track record of leadership. His passion for building strong teams and delivering exceptional customer experiences aligns perfectly with Hancock Lumber’s culture and values. As we continue to grow in Massachusetts, Andy’s leadership will be instrumental in building and strengthening relationships with our employees, customers, and community.”
We caught up with Andy to hear more about his decision to join Team Hancock and he shared the following,
“I first noticed Hancock Lumber when I read an article about their commitment to their people and the culture that they were building to support them. It was an interesting philosophy that seemed very parallel to my management style, so I took the next step and reached out. After several meetings I realized that Hancock would be a great fit and would provide me with an opportunity to further develop my career and my personal growth.
My first two weeks with the company instantly showed me their level of commitment to both employees’ and customers’ success. The multi-layer support system for all positions is incredible and allows people to perform at the highest level. This was very visible in the staff as I toured multiple locations. I am very happy to have the opportunity to work for such an incredible organization and look forward to becoming an intricate part of the team.”
