Orgill has announced a series of leadership changes as Brett Hammers steps back from his role as EVP of sales and purchasing at year’s end. The sales and purchasing portfolios will be split into two roles, with the current senior VPs for those departments being promoted. Jeff Curler will take over as EVP, purchasing, and David Mobley will assume the sales role.
Several retirements are also pending. Charlie Epperson, VP of labour relations and benefits, will retire at the end of 2021. Jeff Thomas, director of corporate group sales, departs at the same time. Everett Clark, senior VP of credit, will retire in April 2022.
In addition, Orgill’s eastern sales territory will be divided into two regions. This change also results in a shift in responsibility and the creation of a new role. In the purchasing department, three leaders have been promoted to newly created positions. Five new directors have also been appointed.
