It's that bittersweet time of year again! As summer wraps up, we say farewell to our incredible interns who are heading back to school - Cole Ford, Tyler Dunham, Addison Rismiller, Austin Lounsberry, Anand Sharma, and Jena Poorman. Check out what they have been working on all summer! From learning the ropes on-site to contributing to exciting projects, their energy and fresh perspectives have been invaluable. Though they worked hard all summer, we made sure to have plenty of fun too! Our annual Intern Fishing Day and Intern Lake Day were a blast! We're grateful for their hard work and enthusiasm and wish them the best of luck in their studies! #NationalInternDay #SummerInterns #WilliamsCompany

We wish Mike Ricotta all the best as he embarks on a new chapter in life! Last month, we celebrated Mike's remarkable career. After 25 years of dedication and leadership in managing and delivering exceptional projects across the Southeast, Mike is now beginning a well-deserved retirement journey. Mike's expertise and passion have been instrumental in shaping our success, and his contributions to the retail, education, industrial, and multi-family sectors have left an indelible mark. To cap off his tenure, he completed the stylish seven-story, 227-Unit Elysian Apartments in Charlottesville, VA. Williams Company began our journey to become a100% Employee-Owned Company or ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan), in 2007. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, Mike will enjoy a comfortable retirement, greatly aided by the vested shares he earned over the years. It’s wonderful to see how the ESOP financially benefits all our employees! Thank you, Mike, for your unwavering commitment, guidance, and the countless milestones achieved together. Your legacy will continue to inspire us. Enjoy this new chapter, filled with relaxation, adventure, and everything you love! #retirementcelebration #thankyoumike #ESOP #employeeowned

Who doesn’t love a beach day? Williams Company revealed our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) share value last week by having fun in the sun! Our employees and their families kicked back and enjoyed an exciting beach day, complete with local New Smyrna Beach catered food trucks. The ESOP Communications Committee kept the celebration in our annual theme, “Ride the Wave,” by having everyone write down their guess and stick it on our Williams Company surfboard for a chance to win big. The closest guesses won $1,000, and we had three lucky winners this year! After a brief announcement from our CEO and President on the success of our ESOP, the moment everyone was waiting for arrived when a plane flew by, pulling a banner with our new stock price, revealing that our share value had increased once again! Our culture is top-notch! We are a 100% employee-owned company, providing each full-time employee with a direct path to ownership of company stock at no cost. This unique structure sets us apart as one of the best places to work! #ESOP #Employee-Owned #StockReveal

From all of us at Williams Company, we wish everyone a safe 4th of July filled with celebration and fireworks!

Founded in 1922, Gulf High School has undergone a complete transformation. Our team constructed a brand-new, state-of-the-art school for the community. Designed by Long & Associates, this modern 155,000-square-foot school accommodates 1,700 students and is accented with concrete, steel, and glass architecture. This summer, we are completing the demolition of the original school to make way for the new bus loop and student parking lot. The school's history as the Buccaneers and its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico are celebrated in common areas, featuring a historical timeline wall and woven pirate ship themes. These include a compass rose reception area with a custom Crow’s Nest ceiling and mast feature, wood paneling accents, pirate flags, abundant natural lighting, large "portholes" for student gathering spaces, and a Pirate’s Landing courtyard theme connecting the new building with the existing campus. This new state-of-the-art facility will continue to enrich the lives of countless students, staff, and New Port Richey community members.
