Barron Emphasizing Importance of Video, Acquires Veritas Media
May 14, 2024
A pair of locally owned Whatcom County businesses have taken their vendor-client relationship to a much higher level.
Ferndale-based Barron Heating AC Electrical & Plumbing acquired all assets of Veritas Media, a
Bellingham video production agency, in a transaction closing May 7. Financial details weren’t disclosed. The resulting company, Veritas by Barron, LLC – a Barron Family Company, will continue to do business as Veritas Media, according to Barron CEO Brad Barron.
Former Veritas Media owner Josh Burdick is now its Founder and Managing Director while also participating as Media Manager on Barron’s marketing team.
“Veritas is a world-class media company with deep roots within our community,” Brad Barron said. “Barron has had the privilege of working with Josh and his team over the past five years, and we’ve seen great benefit and fantastic return on investment from the videos they have created with us. We are excited for current and future clients of Veritas to experience the same magic of video that Barron has.
“Looking to the future, Barron is excited to continue to work with the Veritas team to develop further video assets that will support our employees in their day-to-day roles while also educating customers about their HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems and the tradesmen and tradeswomen who support them.”
Veritas Media creates videos for sales and marketing, training, human resources, and events. Its clients include Bellingham Cold Storage, Phillips 66 Ferndale Refinery, Western Washington University, Lighthouse Mission Ministries, Lydia Place and Port of Bellingham.

“Veritas’ mission is to communicate well and deliver results,” Burdick said. “The videos we create are purposeful and results-focused. Nothing about that mission changes. We now get to partner with a company that shares our values and has the resources to help us grow.”
Barron added that while video production is much different than installing heating systems and repairing plumbing leaks, the two businesses share core values.
“Josh Burdick is a leader of great integrity and determination,” Barron said. “First and foremost, he takes care of his teammates, who in turn take care of their customers and the community we call home. Josh is a problem solver by nature and brings innovative ideas to the table whatever project he is a part of.”
The personal relationship also is important for Burdick.
“I like that Brad is a big thinker,” Burdick said. “He’s always looking for ways to grow personally and to grow the company. He’s humble yet driven to provide more value to his customers and his team.”
