“This is a new and innovative idea that Robins & Morton brought to the table as a suggestion. Then, we
starting putting our heads together on how this could work.” – Todd Lankford, Division Manager at ERS
Construction Products

“Us knowing our city and knowing downtown, and knowing the small worksite, and the complications
that were coming to with trying to maneuver Charleston on the downtown peninsula, that was once
again, one of our targets.” – Frank Ancrum, President at Hard Hat Transportation

“Our part of it is the supply side and the buying power with our experience in the construction supply
end of it, and [Hard Hat’s] part of it is transportation and logistics. It takes both of those for this type of
company to work. We thought we could work together to provide something special.” – Todd Lankford,
Division Manager at ERS Construction Products

“Our goal is to provide a hometown solution, small business and minority contractors, so we can focus
on some of the disparities that exist.” – Frank Ancrum, President at Hard Hat Transportation

“Every time we come into a community, it is critical that we get to know the local vendors and suppliers.
We have learned that when you embed yourself in the community, embrace the local companies, and
work together – we can utilize their local knowledge and our buying power to make a win-win situation.
It’s exciting that we’ve collaborated to develop this innovative idea on a project that’s going to help
[Hard Hat] locally, Robins & Morton nationally and this project immediately.” – Bill Stevens, Senior
Superintendent at Robins & Morton
