Bradley Corp. announced that
Bryan H.
Mullett, president of the company’s Fixtures Business Group, was
awarded the
Business Journal’s “Forty Under 40” Award for
2011. The 18th annual award honors 40 Milwaukee-area individuals under the age
of 40 who are making a positive difference in their professions and
communities.
“Just like other years, it was very difficult to pick
just 40 winners as there were many nominees who are making a major impact in
their business or in our community,” said
Business Journal
editor
Mike Kass. “But we’ve always stuck to the [under-40
age group] because it represents a turning point in a person’s career, a time
in [his or her] life when [he or she is] still climbing the corporate ladders
and trying to make a difference.”
Mullett’s nomination was chosen by a panel of judges among
more than 230 submissions from the greater-Milwaukee area. Highlights of his
nomination included his growing involvement in leading Bradley Corp.’s fixtures
business, and how he feels a deep sense of responsibility as the fifth
generation of his family to lead the business, which is celebrating its 90th
anniversary this year.
“I feel like I have an obligation to build on the
foundation that’s been created for future generations,” Mullett said.
In addition to his leadership role at Bradley, Mullett
has also shown his commitment to ice hockey and has been the assistant coach at
Arrowhead Union High School in Hartland for 10 years, helping to bring home a
state championship for the program for the 2008-2009 school year. The passion
for ice hockey runs deep throughout the Mullett family: The Howard G. Mullett
Ice Center was donated by Bryan’s father,
Donald Mullett,
to the Arrowhead School District and was named for Bryan’s grandfather,
Howard
G. Mullett.
In addition to carrying on two important family
traditions, Mullett stays active in the community. He is an ongoing contributor to the United
Way, the Menomonee Falls High School Foundation, the Plumbing Manufacturers International,
Young Presidents Organization, and other associations.
