RETIREMENT

Congrats on your retirement John Long!

John Long’s journey with Ajax Paving started on September 13, 1999. On that day John started a job at Ajax Paving that slowly turned into a career. He came with an extensive background in the construction industry and desire to sell anything that was not screwed down. The old wives tale says, “he had a little black book full of contacts and it wasn’t old girl friends”. People from the industry knew him and he hit the streets selling commercial and private projects. It’s been over 20 years now and John is looking to start a new chapter in his life, so he’s made the decision to retire this year. The Ajax family feels blessed to have had John Long by our side for the last 20 years. We wish you luck as you move forward.

Congrats on your retirement!

On May 6, 2019, Ajax Paving hosted a retirement party at Sharky’s On the Pier in Venice for Ingrid Delaney. Ingrid and the Ajax family celebrated Ingrid’s accomplishments over the past 20 years. Ingrid will always be a dear friend to the Ajax Family. Thank you Ingrid for everything you have done over the years at Ajax. Enjoy your retirement and your new position as “Full-Time Nana!”
