We enjoyed today’s Portsmouth State of the City, hosted by the Hampton Roads Chamber, and appreciated hearing from Mayor Shannon Glover about the continued growth and momentum across the city. We were also honored to see CROFTON recognized in the program’s “Major Investments: Powering the New Blue Economy” section for our London Boulevard expansion and continued service to the industrial waterfront.

We also had the opportunity to reconnect with Leroy Bennett of Suffolk City Council. Leroy worked alongside Juan Crofton and Kenny Crofton during his years at Newport News Shipbuilding before retiring 26 years ago. While the event highlighted projects and progress, we remember that today’s success is also built on decades of relationships.

We’re proud to continue investing in Portsmouth, supporting the future of the New Blue Maritime Economy, and building relationships that keep our community strong.

 

CROFTON team members were proud to attend the Virginia Port Authority’s 7th Annual SWaM Networking and Information Event yesterday, hosted by The Port of Virginia.

This year’s theme was “Supply Chain Diversification: Navigating the Cost of Global Trade.” The event brought together businesses from across the region to connect, share resources, and strengthen partnerships with SWaM-certified companies.

Thank you to the Port of Virginia for hosting a great event! We’re always grateful for the chance to engage with partners who are helping move our industry forward.

Congratulations to Raymond Hales (pictured here in a blue shirt), who officially retires today after nearly 25 years with CROFTON!

As a crane operator, Raymond became a trusted and steady presence in the field. His experience and work ethic helped support countless team members and projects over the years. We are grateful for his contributions and the role he’s played in shaping who we are today.

Congratulations to Raymond on his retirement! We thank him for his years of hard work and dedication and wish him all the best in this next chapter!

 

CROFTON was glad to be back at this year’s State of the Port, hosted by the Hampton Roads Global Commerce Council. It’s always a great event, and we enjoyed catching up with industry friends and feeling the excitement around all that’s happening in the maritime and logistics world here in Hampton Roads.

Looking forward to another strong year ahead!

CROFTON was proud to sponsor the Propeller Club, Port of Norfolk Spring Oyster Roast last night. We enjoyed fresh oysters, great conversations, and a perfect evening spent with our maritime community.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and visited! We’re already looking forward to the next one!
