Rocky Hill Business Owner Receives Award

Alan White Receives Prestigious Industry Award

On September 19, 2013, the Connecticut Energy Marketers Association (CEMA) presented its outstanding vendor service award to Alan White, Director of Northeast Marketing for Petrochemical Transport, Rocky Hill, a division of the Kenan Advantage Group. 

Better known as one of the co-owners of C. White & Son, a trucking company founded by his grandfather some 60 years ago, that was sold to the Kenan Advantage Group last year, White has been instrumental in providing critical information on bottlenecks in the supply chain for the transportation of petroleum products.  When the lines got long at gas stations due to Hurricane Irene, Storm Sandy or the Halloween snowstorm of 2011, the industry knew in advance because of information provided by White on closures or slowdowns at terminals throughout the region that supply gasoline and diesel. 

This allowed government to prepare and make the necessary decisions to facilitate the flow of these products.  CEMA has been presenting this prestigious award annually since 2003.  The association represents small businesses that market and distribute heating oil, propane, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and biofuels in Connecticut.
