Chaney announces new president
Chaney Enterprises has announced the promotion of Francis H. (Hall) Chaney, III to president. Previously executive vice president, Hall Chaney assumes responsibility for all aspects of the Gambrills-based concrete manufacturer and aggregate supplier, according to a news release.
“Hall has clearly exhibited over his 17year tenure at Chaney Enterprises that he has the leadership qualities, character, competence, work ethic and belief in the ‘Chaney way’ to assume the significant responsibility as president,” said former president William F. Childs, IV, who will continue to serve as the CEO.
Hall Chaney represents the third-generation to lead the company founded in 1962 by his grandfather, Eugene “Babe” Chaney, and later led by his father, Francis H. Chaney, II, who currently serves as chairman of the board.
Reporting directly to CEO Bill Childs, Hall Chaney is responsible for all aspects of ensuring Chaney Enterprises’ success and sustainability. Childs, who joined the company in 1992, will maintain full responsibility for the overall performance of Chaney Enterprises, its partners and affiliates.
Hall Chaney began in 1999 as a summer employee when his jobs included grass cutter, yard worker, sand and gravel plant maintenance, mechanic’s helper, customer service representative and dispatcher. He began his professional career as project manager with Reliable Contracting, also based in Gambrills, and returned to Chaney Enterprises in 2008.
A resident of Davidsonville, Hall Chaney is a graduate of the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland with a bachelor of science degree in logistics and supply chain management. He also holds a master’s degree in real estate and development from the Colvin Institute at the University of Maryland.
He is also active with many industry organizations, volunteers in the community and serves as director of the Chaney Foundation.
Chaney Enterprises operates 16 readymixed concrete plants, six sand and gravel facilities and The Concrete Store, a 19,000-square-foot, contractor-grade construction materials supply store in Waldorf.
