Jones Capital

Celebrating 25 Years of Jones Logistics! 🎉 Jones Capital is proud of our Jones Logistics team for 25 years of persistence and dedication. What better way to mark this significant milestone than by JoLo employees giving back to their communities during United Way's #DayofAction?! We are looking forward to many more years of enhancing the lives of our customers, vendors, employees, and communities we serve, together! #OneOfJones #JonesLogistics #JoLo #25YearsOfBusiness #Hattiesburg #Volunteer #TownSquarePark #UnitedWay #BornLearningTrail

This week, Jones Capital hosted a Leadership Academy Mini-Series, "Choose to Defuse: Conflict Resolution in the Heat of Battle," led by Dr. Lavon Gray of Blue Hen Agency. Participants gained vital skills for managing workplace conflicts, fostering collaboration, and promoting a healthy workplace culture. Jonathan Jones, CEO of Jones Capital, shared, “True leaders excel by cultivating self-awareness, mastering communication, and building genuine relationships. And at the heart of these relationships lies the courage to be vulnerable." Dr. Gray added, "Effective leadership requires the humility to acknowledge potential mistakes, even when we're confident in our decisions. It demands an open mind to truly hear feedback, and the courage to revisit and revise our approach when necessary." Jones Leadership Academy (JLA) was founded in 2012 as an experiential talent development program exclusive for Jones employees who are ON FIRE! Each session is carefully curated exclusively for Jones and focuses on leadership development, team building, and problem-solving. The talent development program has expanded to quarterly sessions called the "JLA Mini Series" that are open to all Jones Employees. The aim of this Mini Series is to revisit key content from the Jones Leadership Academy. #OneOfJones

The Jones Leadership Academy celebrates the graduation of its latest cohort, empowering the next generation of leaders with the skills, network, and mindset for success. CEO Jonathan Jones stated to the graduates, "As talent curators, our role is to cultivate an environment that fosters the right culture, ethics, competency, and desire for personal growth. When we successfully align these elements, individuals require minimal guidance to excel."   Through conscious choice and discipline, these graduates are poised to make a lasting impact on their organizations and communities. Congratulations, JLA Class of 2024!   Jones Leadership Academy (JLA) was founded in 2012 as an experiential talent development program exclusive for Jones employees who are ON FIRE! Each session is carefully curated exclusively for Jones and focuses on leadership development, team building, and problem-solving. Today, there are over 163 JLA alumni! #OneOfJones

Portabull Cold Storage, a Jones Capital portfolio company, has expanded its footprint in the Northeast with the acquisition of a new operational hub in Suffield, CT, and hundreds of electric cold storage containers. Through Portabull's partnership with Kelly Container Refrigeration and Freezer, they are set to enhance service offerings while Kelly focuses on container customization. This strategic move not only increases fleet size but also reinforces a commitment to providing unparalleled maintenance coverage and 24/7 support. #OneOfJones #Acquisition #ColdStorage #Portabull

Saturdays are for serving our communities! Last Saturday, Jones Capital proudly joined forces with the Extra Table Farm To Fork Ride Run Crit and The Big Event at The University of Southern Mississippi. We served hamburgers and red beans and rice from our Jones Serves Mobile Kitchen at the Farm to Fork after-party. Many thanks to the Youth Challenge Cadets for assisting the mobile kitchen staff! Additionally, we teamed up with FV Recycling to provide breakfast for the dedicated staff and students volunteering at The Big Event. The Big Event is a day of service where Southern Miss staff and students spend the morning volunteering at organizations around the Hattiesburg community. It’s always an honor to partner with organizations that are making a BIG impact and leaving Hattiesburg better than they found it! #JonesServes #OneOfJones #ThisRaceFeedsPeople #FarmToFork #TheBigEvent
