In The Office, Pam Beesly’s former boyfriend Roy Anderson starts a successful gravel company after their relationship ends. The business is mentioned when Roy returns to the Scranton branch after rebuilding his life outside Dunder Mifflin.
Roy is introduced as Pam’s warehouse-worker fiancé and longtime boyfriend. Their relationship is strained by his lack of urgency about their future and by Pam’s growing emotional connection with Jim Halpert. After Pam breaks off the engagement, Roy eventually leaves the company and works toward a more successful and stable life.
The gravel-company detail appears late in the series, particularly in “Roy’s Wedding,” the ninth-season episode centered on Roy’s marriage to Laura. Roy is portrayed as unexpectedly prosperous and transformed, even hiring a band and presenting himself as far more mature than he was during his relationship with Pam.
A common mix-up is attributing the company to Jim or Darryl, both of whom have separate business and career storylines. Roy is the former boyfriend associated with the gravel business.
