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.  Rappahannock’s Masonry division was added in the mid 1970’s.

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 Scott’s leadership Rappahannock Concrete expanded to include plants in New Kent, White Stone, Newport News, Hampton and Williamsburg.  Cara Finney Randolph, Zeke’s daughter, joined the family business in 1988 and is presently vice-president and secretary/treasurer.  Rappahannock Concrete has continued as a family owned and operated company for over 55 years.  Our commitment to excellence has earned us a strong reputation for providing outstanding service and superior quality for our customers.  The key to our success continues to be our dedicated and talented employees.  We value their strong work ethic, loyalty and positive attitude.
