H.A. Thompson

H.A. Thompson, who founded Rose Chauffeured Transportation in Charlotte, N.C., in 1985, started out doing mostly weddings and retail runs. Today, the company has a fleet of 47 vehicles, which includes 14 thriving motorcoaches. Rose sold its last stretch limousine in 2012 as the market has dried up and the company expands its chauffeur-style motorcoach niche.
