Effective November 23rd, Andrew Knapp has been appointed to the position of Vice President of Sales, replacing  Chris Recchia. The company has eliminated the role of National Residential Showroom Sales  Manager, formerly held by Bruce Hathaway, due to the increased scope of the new VP of Sales.

“I’m looking forward to focusing on the advantages that Hubbardton Forge Knapp says. “We have custom capabilities right here and products that meet every lighting application need.” 
As VP of Sales, Knapp will report directly to Maria Mullen, President & COO. “I am thrilled to  welcome Andrew to his new role at Hubbardton Forge. His past experience, especially selling our products at retail and wholesale, will bring a different perspective to our sales operation. Understanding our customers’ challenges, as Andrew does, will make us a stronger partner and a  more important resource. With Andrew overseeing our sales team we are excited about the future.”
