JACOBS, Ont. — Home Hardware Stores has made some year-end changes to its management team, including the retirement of one of its top executives.
Eric Konecsni, vice-president, operations, retired at the end of 2014 after 46 years of service. Konecsni, who got his start at Beaver Lumber, was part of the team that came over to Home Hardware when the hardware wholesaler purchased Beaver for $68 million in 1999. His expertise, along with the skills of other Beaver alumni including Jack Baillie and Joel Marks, helped Home to grow its retail building supply business during the past 15 years.
