LEVIS, Quebec, and Lexington, S.C. (BRAIN) — Hawley-Lambert has promoted Jeff Brown to director of operations. Formerly distribution center manager in the Hawley-Lambert’s Lexington, South Carolina, facility, Brown brings a strong background in logistics and leadership to his new role, the distributor stated.
“After a long and successful tenure with Target Corporation, we were fortunate to have Jeff join our team in Lexington two years ago,” Hawley-Lambert president Sylvain Caya said. “Jeff’s leadership and extensive knowledge of the distribution business will help support our growth in our four DCs (South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Quebec). I couldn’t be more pleased to have Jeff in this role and know he will do great things.”
A native of South Carolina, Brown has a bachelor of science in Business Administration from the University of South Carolina. His career in distribution leadership began in 2003 when he joined Target, where he worked in a regional distribution center in South Carolina and later at Target’s headquarters in Minneapolis.
“I have been fortunate in my career to have worked for a Fortune 500 company. The lessons I learned have served me well,” Brown said. “In all cases, distribution comes down to a good system backed up by people performing their roles with enthusiasm and excellence. I look forward to ensuring our systems operate at peak performance and our people are motivated and enthusiastic about helping our customers get the products they need to be successful in their business.”
Brown’s promotion is effective immediately, and he will remain based out of Hawley-Lambert’s Lexington, South Carolina facility.
