IREGC CEO JOHN GILLILAND NAMED 2025 ICON HONOREE BY CENTRAL PENN BUSINESS JOURNAL
John Gilliland, CEO of the Investment Real Estate Group of Companies (IREGC), has been named a 2025 ICON Honoree by the Central Penn Business Journal. The accolade celebrates his leadership and lasting impact on the self storage industry. Gilliland accepted the award alongside fellow honoree Scott Weaver, president and CEO of APR Supply.
Under Gilliland’s leadership since 1998, IREGC has evolved into one of the nation’s most diversified self storage firms, ranking among the Top 50 operators. The York-based company oversees 80 facilities under its Moove In Self Storage brand and employs over 100 professionals. From AI-driven pricing algorithms to sustainability initiatives, Gilliland guides IREGC into championing cutting-edge strategies.
“To be recognized among leaders who’ve shaped Central Pennsylvania’s business landscape is humbling,” said Gilliland. “This honor reflects the dedication of our entire team, who live our core value daily: Do the right thing. When you prioritize integrity — in investor relations, operations or community partnerships — everything else falls into place.”
A lifelong advocate for mentorship, Gilliland co-founded a Vistage Group in 2006, a peer network for chief executives, where he forged a friendship with fellow honoree Scott Weaver. The two bonded over shared passions: building thriving company cultures, motorsports and fitness. Weaver also serves on IREGC’s board of advisors.
“Leadership is about creating lasting impacts through integrity and relationships,” says Weaver. “John’s authenticity and drive inspire everyone around him. He proves that success isn’t just about growth — it’s about leaving a legacy.”
Founded in 1922, APR Supply is a fourth-generation, family-owned distributor that specializes in plumbing, HVAC and industrial PVF products. With 38+ branches and nine showrooms across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, they prioritize accuracy and customer service.
