Barry Pollema
GENERAL MANAGER
Barry is CEO and owner of B & B Gates & Supply. What Barry started in an unheated dirt floor shop on his yard in 1996, grew into the tri-state’s premier gating specialist and so much more. He had a vision for growing his business and providing good jobs that support families in the surrounding communities which continues today. He also remains focused on helping customers whether they are in the agricultural or industrial sectors. Barry enjoys raising foals with his wife Patty. He also enjoys the hunt for various species of animals to display in the pasture adjacent to the B & B shop. Besides stopping at our retail shop for ag products, that also would make a trip to B & B worthwhile!
