FOSTER FUELS ANNOUNCES SECOND CONSECUTIVE BEST PLACES TO WORK IN VIRGINIA AWARD
For the second year in a row, Virginia Business has named Foster Fuels as one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Virginia. The awards are held in partnership with Best Companies Group.
Best Places to Work in Virginia identifies, recognizes, and honors the best places of employment in Virginia in three categories: small employer (15–99 employees), medium employer (100–249 employees), and large employer (250 or more employees). Foster Fuels has been awarded in the large employer category. In 2025, Foster was awarded Best Places to Work in the medium employer category.
President of Foster Fuels, Will Rohrig, said, “Receiving this award for the second consecutive year is both an honor and testament to the exceptional team that makes up Foster Fuels. Each year, we strive to improve, and it’s a privilege to work alongside individuals who share that same commitment.”
The rankings were determined through a two-part process:
- Company Evaluation: Workplace policies, practices, and demographics were assessed, accounting for 25% of the total score.
- Employee Survey: Employee feedback, which measured the employee experience, made up the remaining 75%.
The combined scores revealed the top companies. This recognition reflects the incredible employees who make Foster Fuels a unique and standout place to work. Each employee plays a crucial role in the success of the company and enables Foster Fuels to serve its customers at an exceptional level.
Vice President of Human Resources at Foster Fuels, Amy Mentzer, said, “We are thrilled to be recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in VA. This achievement belongs entirely to our remarkable team. We are deeply honored that our employees continue to view Foster Fuels as an outstanding place to work. Their unwavering support, dedication, and exceptional work ethic are the driving force behind our success and what makes this recognition so meaningful.”
To be considered for this award, companies must be a publicly or privately held business; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; have a facility in the state of Virginia; have at least 15 full- or part-time employees working in Virginia; and have been in business for a minimum of one year.
All Best Places to Work in Virginia winners will be recognized on March 31st at a celebration in Richmond. For the full list of companies who won, visit www.virginiabusiness.com.
