C.C. Mangum Launches New Business

Chris Mangum, son of Bill Mangum and grandson of Cleve Mangum, revives the Mangum corporate name.

Raleigh, NC June 24, 2011. Chris Mangum and brother, Michael, sold C.C. Mangum in January 2010. The Mangum family had long been an integral part of the economic development and growth of the greater Raleigh area. Now, Chris has launched a new venture, C.C. Mangum Consulting (www.ccmangum.com), which specializes in fleet management services for off-road equipment and over-the-road vehicles.

C.C. Mangum, a grading construction business, was founded by Cleve C. Mangum in 1927, an era where dirt was moved using mules and drag pans. Over Cleve’s career heavy equipment rapidly replaced mules, transforming the industry and vastly improving productivity.

William E. (Bill) Mangum assumed control of the business in 1953 following his father’s death. Continuing Cleve’s entrepreneurial spirit, Bill grew and diversified C.C. Mangum, entering the hot-mix asphalt production and laydown industry as well as bridge-building. Bill’s sons, Chris and Michael, led the business beginning in the 1990’s and until the business was sold. At its peak, C.C. Mangum generated over $80 Million of construction services annually, providing employment to over 400 people.

Chris Mangum said, “It is a great privilege and blessing to follow the examples of my father and grandfather by providing service and offering employment opportunity to the people of central North Carolina. My prayer is that C.C. Mangum Consulting will leave the same legacy as my forefathers, one of integrity, excellence and faith.”
