Upchurch Plumbing, Inc. (UPI) was founded in April of 1970 in Greenwood, MS by Mr. Vennis Upchurch.  For the first 25 years, UPI mainly performed work in the Delta region of Mississippi. This consisted of a 60-mile radius of the headquarters in Greenwood, MS.  Until 1990s, the typical projects included small commercial buildings, design build jobs, schools, hospitals, factories, and many others.  

During the mid-1990s, UPI grew its portfolio substantially by installing the plumbing and mechanical work for several casino projects across the State. When casino industry began to slow, UPI changed its direction and grew its portfolio by working on several Federal and State Projects throughout the South Eastern United States.  

Due to their continual growth, UPI has grown to become one the largest Mechanical Contractors in the State of MS with offices in Greenwood, MS, Ridgeland, MS, and Jackson, TN.

Sadly, Mr. Vennis Upchurch passed away in 1997.  However, his legacy and values are continued by his four children who now own and operate the company: 

Robbie Upchurch – President

Mike Upchurch – Vice President

David Upchurch – Treasurer

Cindy Hawkins – Secretary

Robbie, Mike, David, and Cindy have participated in responsibility roles within the company starting in back in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
