Case Study: W4 Construction Group achieves veteran‑led growth and federal contracting success with Clover

How Being a Veteran Breeds Success for Percy Jenkins and W4 Construction

W4 Construction Group, led by CEO Percy Jenkins, is a Pontiac, Michigan–based federal prime contractor that handles construction, HVAC, remodeling, and electrical work. Jenkins, a 20‑year Coast Guard veteran, needed vendor partners who understand federal contracting and genuinely support veteran‑owned businesses; after a successful meeting with Clover (a First Data company), he began evaluating partners that align with his veteran‑first hiring and project management approach.

Clover engaged directly with Jenkins and demonstrated its commitment to veteran businesses, which prompted W4 Construction Group to connect Clover with other veteran entrepreneurs and promote Clover within its network. The relationship strengthened W4’s vendor ecosystem and advocacy—W4 now employs 16 people, seven of whom are veterans—and gave Clover a trusted veteran advocate and source of new business introductions.
