Calhoun, GA, August 22--Business is booming for Wools of New Zealand Brand partner, Glen Eden Wool Carpet, with sales in June reported to be the highest in the company’s history. New positions have been created to keep up with demand, resulting in several promotions and a new addition to the staff.
Those promoted from within include Amanda Abercrombie, the new Broadloom Production manager. Abercrombie previously worked in customer service and replaces Bob VanOrder who accepted a position at J. Mish. Laura Ray, also promoted from customer service, is the Custom Production manager. In this newly created position, Ray will oversee Glen Eden’s custom department, handling the production of made-to-order carpets manufactured in-house at the company’s facility in Calhoun, GA.
New to the company is Pam Hudson who was hired for the new position of Hand-Tufted project manager. Prior to Glen Eden, Hudson worked in customer service at Stanton Carpets. Hudson will manage Glen Eden’s growing hand-tufted wool business, which involves the production of rugs that are custom sized, colored and designed according to the buyer’s specifications.
"This is an exciting time for us," said Stewart Hay, president of Glen Eden. "Our wool business is growing in all directions and we are taking full advantage of the success. With our in-house dying and custom departments fully established, retailers are realizing how easy we make it to meet the unique tastes of their customers. Our new production and project managers will keep quality high and turn-around quick while enabling us to take on more business."
