Established in 2004, Trade Team carries forward a distinguished industrial tradition originating in 1875, when Charles J. Colonna founded a marine repair company in Virginia that evolved into Colonna’s Shipyard—the oldest continuously family-owned and operated private shipyard in the United States. Founded by Willoughby Warren Colonna, Jr. Driven by sustained operational success the company expanded nationally opening multiple strategic locations across the United States. Although this rapid growth eventually required Trade Team to transition into an independent entity separate from the Colonna ownership group, the organization proudly retains the deep trade expertise, operational knowledge and leadership philosophies that formed its foundation. Today, Trade Team deploys hundreds of highly skilled personnel across various trades to support the marine, heavy industrial, manufacturing and light industrial markets nationwide. Specializing in comprehensive staffing solutions, the firm provides general labor, skilled tradesmen and professional management personnel through flexible direct-hire, temp-to-perm and temporary placement models. With a robust national infrastructure spanning the East Coast, West Coast, Gulf Coast and Great Lakes regions, Trade Team delivers scalable workforce solutions to virtually any location within the continental United States. Despite managing a large nationwide workforce and an extensive corporate client portfolio, Trade Team remains anchored by a foundational core value: cultivating a familial culture that prioritizes meaningful, individual relationships. The organization rejects a purely transactional approach, choosing instead to know its employees and clients by name, invest in their long-term success and foster authentic professional partnerships.
