Founder
Leslie B. Lampton created Ergon in 1954 and served as its leader for over sixty years until his passing in 2018 at 92 years old. A veteran of the U.S. Navy who served during both World War II and the Korean War and an alumnus of Ole Miss, Lampton opted to establish his energy enterprise in Mississippi rather than moving elsewhere during the oil industry surge. His tenure saw the company evolve into a multifaceted energy organization employing more than 4,200 people across Mississippi, 29 other states, and multiple international locations.
Lampton regarded workforce involvement as essential to the company’s achievements and promoted innovation alongside geographic growth while maintaining a balance between profitability and employee well-being. He was recognized for fostering close relationships with his staff and generously supporting their families and local communities through scholarships and numerous philanthropic efforts carried out quietly. His Catholic beliefs profoundly shaped his approach to business ethics and community engagement.
