Hooker taps Peach for Asian operations
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, November 2, 2008
MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Hooker Furniture has named Barney Peach as vice president of Asian operations, a new position with the company.
Peach has been with Hooker since 1994, most recently as vice president of quality and process improvement.
Before joining Hooker, he worked for American of Martinsville.
In his new job, he will oversee the performance of the company's vendor network in Asia and logistics issues that ensure on-time delivery of product.
“This is a great move for the company to put a seasoned officer on the ground in Asia responsible for quality, packaging, on time delivery and overall vendor performance,” said Hooker CEO Paul Toms.
“We're continuing to improve in all these areas, but with the growth of our Asian staff now to approximately 25 employees, the company will benefit from having an officer to oversee this extensive effort on a daily basis,” Toms added.
