Quality Oil Co. has named Don McIver as its president and CEO following the retirement of Graham Bennett. McIver, 55, is a more than 15-year veteran of Quality Oil, most recently serving as executive vice president of finance.
McIver joined the company in July 2009 after serving as a partner at Ernst & Young. He started his career at KPMG after graduating from Wake Forest University in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting and computer science. He will continue to serve, in part, as Quality Oil’s executive vice president of finance while the company reevaluates the role and, subsequently, searches for a replacement.
“On behalf of everyone at Quality Oil, I thank Graham for his steadfast service to our company. I’m truly humbled to lead Quality Oil, a place that has been such an integral part of my life and career for many years,” McIver said. “However, our company is about much more than any single person or leader. We are a strong, close-knit group at Quality Oil and Reliable Tank Line, and we are focused on continuing to grow our diverse portfolio of operating companies.”
“Although we’re still the same Quality Oil that we’ve always been, we are on a growth trajectory and are hiring,” McIver added. “Our family of 1,500 employees looks forward to proudly continuing to serve customers in the communities in which we operate and welcomes others to join our team.”
Quality Oil, a family-owned local business since 1929, began as a distributorship for Shell Oil Company. Today, the company has grown to become a regional company offering a diverse range of products and services, including petroleum products, convenience stores, hotels, transportation and real estate development.
