I have worked with Ron Leeper, President of R.J Leeper Construction, LLC for the past 8 years and the experience has been rewarding. RJL has demonstrated a significant commitment to supporting local diverse businesses by partnering with Wachovia a WellsFargo Company to offer construction training and mentoring/protẻgẻ opportunities.

RJL’s core values and dedication towards community efforts is reflective across every aspect of their business model. One example is the First Street Project. There were several great partners who stepped up and made the inclusion of diverse businesses a priority. To take it one step further, RJL offered an apprentice program to students who were seeking a career in construction management. This approach introduced an opportunity for them to learn through on-the-job training.

RJL believes it is crucial to be a leader of social responsibility and sustainability, to ensure diverse businesses have opportunities to grow. As a minority-owned business, Ron understands the importance of diversity and inclusion. He was instrumental in establishing the United Minority Contractors of North Carolina which promotes networking and offers training, resources and development to the minority-owned business community.

RJL continues to be a leader in delivering exceptional value to their clients, supporting supplier diversity and serving the needs of the local community. I am very proud of their success and dedication to excellence.
