This past week we were privileged to spend an evening honoring one of our best.  Long time Pipe Superintendent, Tony Given, has established himself as one of the most knowledgeable “Pipe Guys” in Northern Virginia.  His reputation for performing at the highest level has distinguished his career and yet he has done so with the care and compassion for his crews similar to the bonds of a brotherhood.  Tony was awarded the HCCA’s 2023 Safety Leader Award for the commitment that he has shown for the safety of his men throughout his dedicated career.  S.W. Rodgers’ Vice President, Rick Long, had the honor of presenting Tony to more than 150 industry peers and helped paint a picture of just how important Tony is to our company.  He and his values have impacted the lives of thousands of employees here at the S.W. Rodgers Company and we are proud to call him family.  Congratulations Tony!

 

Carrying momentum into the spring season…..The S.W. Rodgers Company is firing on all cylinders, creating value for our clients and turning out high quality work.  It takes dedication and commitment to perform at the highest standards, especially during the Virginia winter months.  Our family continues to prove that quality starts by holding ourselves to higher standards.  Creating communities that are built to last.

Rodgers Company had a team of shooters enjoy the Fall 2023 HCCA Sporting Clay Tournament.  Pictured above from left to right; Jesse Fansler, Josh Allen, Eddie Putnam, Sam Hallman and Matt Komrowski carried themselves well amongst some of the most elite shooters in the region.  The challenging course was located at Shady Grove Sporting Clays in Remington VA.  Congrats to our shooters for their competitive efforts and team building spirit.

Springing into action (pun intended) with one of our newest fleet upgrades. Pictured below is one of our new Mack Granite series quad trucks delivering topsoil to a community service project in Manassas, VA. It is going to be a colorful spring around here with these stunning trucks hitting the road. Where toughness meets productivity and style. Happy Spring to all of our hardworking construction family.
