PGT adds to its West Coast team
PGT Services (CCJ Top 250, No. 103) has named Brittany Elmen its Director of West Coast Sales where she will help build its customer and carrier base and helping clients expand their operations to the East.
Over the next year, PGT Services expects to expand its reach throughout the U.S., building teams in the South, Southeast and Midwest in addition to the eastern and western offices.
“Our goal with the expansion is to get closer to our customers and potential customers,” said Justin Burgh, Vice President of PGT Services. “Having teams based in every region will not only give us a better reach, but a better understanding of the market in those areas. We are excited to have Brittany Elmen leading this opportunity in our West Coast market.”
Elmen may be the first PGT Services team member in the Western expansion, but she isn’t new to the region. She started her career in the West, gaining both flatbed transportation experience and building her West Coast contacts. Now, her goal is to expose existing contacts as well as new customers to PGT Services, leveraging her expertise and Western connections.
