GrayMar Environmental Services Acquires Hull's Environmental Services Six Locations Across Three States

GrayMar Environmental Services, LLC acquired Hull's Environmental Services and its six locations across Florida, Georgia and Tennessee, the company announced on November 11, 2026. The price was not disclosed. PR Newswire carried the announcement. GrayMar is a nationwide full-service provider of environmental, emergency response and remediation services. Hull's Environmental Services is the seller of the six-location operation.

GrayMar's Six-Location Hull's Acquisition

The six locations are Panama City, Jacksonville, Tampa/St. Petersburg and Winter Haven in Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; and Nashville, Tennessee. GrayMar said the sites extend its reach and service capabilities in the Southeast. The company said the addition strengthens its ability to serve customers across the region while expanding its national footprint.

The acquired operations will be led by Tony Payne, former Executive Vice President of Hull's Environmental Services. GrayMar said the arrangement keeps leadership continuity as the teams move under its operating model, which the company describes as built on Safety, Culture, and Compliance. Payne said: "GrayMar was the right partner to help grow our business from the start. It was immediately clear to me that they put their employees first and have built a culture grounded in respect, integrity, safety, and excellence—all qualities I believe are essential to long-term success." He also credited Michael Gray, Kelly Ottmar and the wider team with building Hull's over the past nine years.

Tim Smith, CEO of GrayMar Environmental Services, said: "This acquisition represents another important step in GrayMar's continued growth." Smith said the company is welcoming the Hull's team and building on the foundation it established. He said GrayMar's commitment stays the same as it grows to more than 650 employees: putting people first, operating safely, maintaining a strong culture, and delivering compliance and service standards for customers.

GrayMar now operates 28 service locations with more than 650 employees, according to its website. The company provides field operations, waste transportation and disposal, remediation, and emergency response services. Hull's Environmental Services lists its own operations at hullsenvironmental.com.

Payne's Role Leading The Combined Teams

Payne's appointment as leader of the acquired operations is the only leadership change the announcement states. The six locations join GrayMar's operating model, and the company said the teams come together under that structure. GrayMar's service lineup of field operations, waste transportation and disposal, remediation, and emergency response now runs across the expanded footprint.
