History

edit

WithersRavenel was established in 1983 as Withers & Ravenel, P.A., by Hamilton “Tony” Withers and Sam Ravenel in Cary. For the remainder of the decade, the company would add its first employees and take on its maiden projects.

In the 1990s, WithersRavenel hired Jim Canfield, the company’s current President, added surveying services, and formed Withers & Ravenel Environmental Engineering. Throughout the decade, the company took on private and public projects working for clients such as Badin Shores and the North Carolina National Guard.

In 2001, the company officially changed its name to Withers & Ravenel, Inc. In the years to follow, WithersRavenel would surpass 200 employees and open new offices in Greensboro and Wilmington.

The 2010s saw the company re-brand itself as WithersRavenel in conjunction with becoming an ESOP company. In addition, WithersRavenel opened three new offices in Asheville, Pittsboro, and Raleigh. WithersRavenel opened its newest office location in 2021 in Charlotte.

The company is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its founding in 2023.
