About Rappahannock Concrete

Rappahannock Concrete Corporation was founded in September 1961 by John L. (Zeke) Finney. Finney, a VMI graduate, realized his dream of owning his own business when he purchased a small ready-mix concrete operation located in Saluda Virginia from Ruffin and Payne of Richmond. Zeke relocated the company in 1962 to his own property in Saluda. In 1963 he expanded the business to Gloucester, Virginia, its present day headquarters.

Scott Finney, eldest son of Mr. Finney, worked for the company throughout his teen years. After graduating from Hampden-Sydney College, Scott worked for Ferguson Enterprises in Lexington, Kentucky. He returned to Gloucester in 1987 to assume control of the company. Under his leadership Rappahannock Concrete expanded to include plants in New Kent, White Stone, and Newport News.

Cara Finney Randolph, Zeke’s daughter, joined the family business in 1988 and is presently secretary/treasurer.

Tyler B. Johnson, current vice president and general manager, was hired in 1992. He now handles daily operations.
