MEMPHIS ― Orgill has announced changes to the roles of its top-level executive team. Effective January 1, President Boyden Moore (shown here) will add the position of CEO to his current responsibilities. Ron Beal, who has been both CEO and chairman, will remain in the latter post, with Byrne Whitehead continuing as vice-chairman. “Ron and Byrne have led Orgill through our most dynamic growth, from a small regional distributor to the fastest growing, most successful distributor in the industry,” said Moore in a release. “And while they are stepping away from their day-to-day management duties, we are pleased to have their continued guidance and support for years to come.”
Moore took over as president last year after serving as GM of retail and president of Orgill subsidiary Tyndale Advisors. At the same time, Orgill also announced the retirements of two long-time team members, Grady Gennings and Mike Ferrell, at the end of 2019. Gennings led Orgill’s corporate accounts team and has been with the company for 31 years, while Ferrell managed Orgill’s LBM category and has been with Orgill for 26 years.
