Jacksonville Fla.—Cain & Bultman, a flooring distributor located here, added to its sales team, which the company said is to focus on growth in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.
“Several leading manufacturers have entrusted us with representing them in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina,” said Kirk Sandifer, CEO. “This meets our long-term goal of aggressively growing our footprint. In fact, our director of credit, Marshall Konency, said we have built relationships with 800 new customers since January. It’s an exciting time to be part of Cain & Bultman’s future.”
The new hires are as follows:
Rick Horne joins as business development manager, metro Atlanta/North Georgia. Horne was previously president, RA Siegel and vice president, sales, Gilford Johnson.
“Rick brings an impressive resume to Cain & Bultman,” said John Neugent, director of sales. “With his 40 years of experience and relationships, we are fortunate to have someone of Rick’s caliber help us build market share. Rick will be an enormous asset to Cain & Bultman bringing his knowledge, high energy and sales leadership.”
Greg Walton is now territory manager for upstate South Carolina. Walton was previously territory manager for Tarkett and Bedrosians. Walton’s extensive knowledge of hard surface flooring and the South Carolina marketplace was a natural fit for Cain & Bultman, the company said.
