LOS ANGELES — ABS Holdings has announced that Justin Vickers has joined the team as the Head of Global Trade Sales.
According to the company, Vickers joins ABS at a very exciting time for the company.
“We know that he will be a big part of our global growth as we see interest peak from various territories including Europe and the U.S.” said an ABS Holdings representative. “Justin is from Chicago and comes to ABS from ECN where he held the position of retail coordinator. His in-depth retail knowledge coupled with his extensive industry experience will be a valuable asset to the ABS team.”
Vickers commented, “I’ve been in this industry for almost 12 years and have loved learning each side of the business from buying to distribution. I am excited to join ABS to learn not only how a company operates a manufacturing side, distribution side, stores and internet business but also to learn how things are done differently in a different market.
“I am excited to have the opportunity to live and work in the U.K. and I can’t wait to meet a whole new set of customers and co-workers,” he continued. “I’m sure that I will learn so much from everyone here and I know that they will help me to be better at what I can do.”
ABS commercial director Symon Reeves said, “We’re excited to start the new year with Justin Vickers as our head of global trade sales. Justin is already well known in the industry where he has made a name for himself thanks to his passion and expertise — which is something that really got our attention from the get-go. This position will allow him to put his industry experience to great use and we really look forward to having him on board and making the most of his talents.”
ECN’s Frank Koretsky added, “All of us here at ECN wish Justin the very best of luck on this next adventure of his life. Moving to England and working overseas is a big move and we wish him the best! We appreciate all he did for the family here at ECN.”
Additionally, ABS Holdings has added Amber Ball and Donna Gatier to its team in sales administrator and junior accounts manager positions.
Of the company’s continued growth, Reeves concluded, “We’re excited to be adding new talent to the company regularly. Every new employee brings fresh ideas into the fold.
