Aquatrols has promoted Southeast territory manager Wes Hamm to the position of strategic accounts manager. Duncan Stewart-Orris has been hired to take Hamm’s position and will oversee Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and southern Virginia.
The changes not only reflect the company’s consistent growth within the United States, but also around the globe. Following its acquisition by Rural American Fund in 2015, Aquatrols appointed a new leadership team, streamlined operations, instituted an aggressive research and development plan, and expanded product distribution.
Hamm has been with Aquatrols since July 2017 and holds over 16 years of expertise in the turf industry.
“I have witnessed Aquatrols’ impressive growth first-hand over the past year-and-a-half and I am excited to help the company grow further in this new role,” Hamm said.
Duncan brings over 11 years of turf experience to his new role at Aquatrols. Previously at Howard Fertilizer and chemical companies within the landscape, sports turf and golf markets, Duncan will provide a rounded perspective to customers throughout the Southeast.
“Duncan’s passion for the industry and what we do is indisputable,” said Mike Navel, Aquatrols national sales manager. “His unique background will help expand our team’s combined expertise within the green industry and I am excited for what he will bring to his customers in the upcoming year.”
