Hancock Lumber is thrilled to welcome Rebecca McCrohan as Hancock Lumber’s new General Manager of the Damariscotta location. After an extensive internal and external search, Rebecca stood out not only for her industry experience, but also for her deep alignment with Hancock’s culture, values, and philosophy of shared leadership.
Rebecca brings over 15 years of retail management experience, most recently at Home Depot where she led large teams and highly dynamic operations. Her background also includes time in the healthcare industry, supporting EMR systems across hospitals and medical offices, as well as a five-year chapter in banking, working closely with credit card operations.
Rebecca has been interested in Hancock Lumber for some time. She found herself consistently impressed by the people who work here—and how long they stay. “Being a Best Place to Work in Maine for 12 years means people genuinely love what they do and don’t want to leave,” she shared. As she learned more about Hancock’s values and Kevin Hancock’s shared leadership model, she recognized that her style of leadership closely matched that philosophy. “That is how I have led my whole career,” Rebecca explained. “When you give people a voice and they love what they do, you create a cohesive work environment that clicks. Team members feel it, customers see it, and that’s what makes them want to do business with Hancock Lumber.”
Rebecca expressed her excitement about joining the team, “I am so honored to have joined this team of amazing leaders who truly value their people,” she said. “This is a place where individuals are respected, heard, and seen for who they are. I am proud to say I am now part of a seventh-generation company that provides superior customer service and deeply values its employees.”
Please join Hancock Lumber in giving Rebecca a warm welcome to the team. Team Hancock is excited for her leadership in Damariscotta and looks forward to the impact she will have enhancing the lives of those who are connected to the company—from employees and customers to vendor partners and the broader community.
