Coad, who was appointed to Director of Sales in November of 2014, and will help Porter transition into his new role. “Dwayne understands our product line and has driven our marketing campaign’s over the past seven years. On that basis he is positioned to do a great job with all of the loyal US business partners which have been placed under his new management. I’m sure they will especially appreciate and take advantage of the unique marketing skills Dwayne brings with him as well,” says Coad.
