RICHMOND, VA—Global media company Forbes has named Estes a Best Employer for Women. This distinction comes from an online Statista survey of about 50,000 part- or full-time employees of companies and institutions with more than 1,000 U.S.-based workers.

“Women have performed in vital roles at Estes since the company’s early days, so we’re honored to be recognized by Forbes as one of the Best Employers for Women,” says Vice President, Culture and Communications Sara Graf. “It confirms that whether they’re on the dock, behind the wheel, in the office, or leading a terminal, women have opportunities here for excelling in their positions, developing successful careers, and making Estes an even better place to work.”
