Tim Prillaman, Founder
The Prillaman Group Inc. was founded in 2002 to provide HR consulting services to small and medium sized businesses and executive search for all companies.

He is most proud of the American Furniture Manufacturers Association safety record of 3.7 million man hours without a lost time accident while working for Vaughan-Bassett. This record was eventually broken by Stanley Furniture’s Robbinsville, NC plant with 4.3 million man hours during Tim’s tenure at Stanley Furniture as VP of Human Resources and Consultant upon founding The Prillaman Group Inc..
