As the CPMA kicks off their 93rd Annual Conference in Vancouver, BCfresh announces the appointment of Steve Young in the role of VP, Sales, commencing April 23rd, 2018. Young joins the company with almost 15 years of produce experience, with the last 7 years spent in senior sales management positions.
Murray Driediger, President and CEO for the company noted “bringing a talent of Steve’s calibre to our team is the logical next step in our company’s progression. His experience, leadership qualities and industry relationships make him the ideal candidate.” Driediger continues, “Our company recently celebrated its 25th anniversary and we are poised for strong growth as we move into our new 55,000 square foot distribution facility later this month. Steve’s experience with some of the industry’s top companies will serve him well in leading our sales efforts to the next level.”
Young expressed his excitement to drive BCfresh’s growth initiatives while working directly with the family farms that grow the produce. “BCfresh has been growing at a remarkable pace,” Young said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to supporting that momentum and discovering new opportunities for our growers and their products in the market.”
This announcement marks a change in responsibilities for Brian Faulkner as he hands off his sales responsibilities to Young and transitions to VP, Business Development and Marketing.
