ST. JACOBS, Ont. — Rick McNabb has been named vice president marketing and sales for Home Hardware Stores Ltd. The hire, which is effective March 7, comes after months of searching and brings in an outsider to the ranks of Canada’s largest co-op home improvement retailer. McNabb was formerly with Cara Foods, most recently as COO of Swiss Chalet and Harveys. In addition, his family has been in the home improvement business for 38 years: McNabb’s brother owns the Home Building Centre in Parry Sound, Ont.
As part of the move, Dunc Wilson, who had been serving as acting vice president of operations, will now report directly to McNabb in a new role as executive director, retail sales and support. Rob Wallace, director, marketing, will also report to McNabb.
