Howard Fertilizer and Chemical Company Inc. has added five industry veterans to its sales team to expand the company's coverage of key turf markets throughout the Southeast. The employees will work out of the company's first location outside of Florida, a distribution center in Alpharetta, Ga.
Howard's new sales team has more than 80 years combined experience. The five new sales representatives will focus on lawn care, nursery and golf markets. Newt Ware and Randy Mangum will primarily focus on the golf course market. Jay Fountain, Ron Hunnicutt and Tom Stage will work with the company's lawn care, nursery and golf markets.
Their core responsibilities include sales of chemicals, seed, fertilizer and other supplies. The operation service area includes Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. All are highly experienced in the turf industry and complement Howard's existing sales force for full coverage of the Southeast.
