::Welcome to C&C Warehousing::

Jimmy Connelly works with big things. Ships, containers, trucks. But Connelly, president of C&C Warehouse &
Distribution, also embraces the smaller details within the million dollar port industry.

Connelly, president of C&C for 14 years, came into the family business at 15, when he worked summers for his grandfather, Henry Brock, who owned Brock Moving and Storage. So, Jimmy Connelly has the immeasurable experience of knowing all facets of the warehousing business.

With Connelly’s keen knowledge of the ever changing port industry, he has put in place an effi cient and flexible
distribution system that gives his customers an edge in moving expensive cargo onto the paying customer. With a fl eet of over 15 trucks, C&C can offer a short turn-around time for imported goods, or C&C can pick up cargo and deliver it to the port for export.

But the small things matter, too. For example, C&C serves two suppliers in the auto industry with the capability to assemble/manipulate parts and then ship the assembled part to the end user as one completed unit. “We test [the assembled part] and provide the supplier with a ‘passed’ certifi cate,” says Connelly.

When he is not at work, you may fi nd Jimmy Connelly under the hood of an old model car. Connelly has tinkered with classic “hot rod” automobiles and has seen them turn into efficient 21st century beauties.

“I prefer the retro-rod style,” says Connelly, which means adding power steering and air conditioning to make the car enjoyable to drive. His current project is a 1937 Ford Roaster. He plans to add a Corvette engine, air conditioning, power steering and power brakes once complete.

Of course, rebuilding a car is much like building a business.“It’s all in the attention to detail,” says Connelly, “whether you are assembling a car or you are listening to a customer’s needs. You fi ne tune your services for each and every customer.”

Knowing that big things require paying attention to the smaller parts has helped build C&C Warehouse and Distribution into a major player at the Charleston port. No surprise, Jimmy Connelly’s business plan is timeless and classic.

His advice: “If you listen carefully and listen to the details, then the rest will fall into place.”
