Weyerhaeuser makes some hires in Richmond

Weyerhaeuser Distribution has added to its Richmond, Virginia, sales team to help better serve local dealers and their customers.

Over the last couple of months, Weyerhaeuser has hired an area general manager, an inside sales team, another outside salesperson and a product specialist, as well as designated product experts.

“When our customers succeed, we succeed,” said VP Nate Jorgensen. “By ramping up our personnel and service capabilities in Richmond, we can better serve dealers in the Mid-Atlantic region, continuing our track record not just for efficient, accurate deliveries, but also for those training and support programs that set Weyerhaeuser Distribution apart.”



Jan Marrs, a 25-year Weyerhaeuser veteran, is now area general manager. Marrs has previously served in such roles as region general manager for recycling and manufacturing manager for engineered wood products.



Andrew Little, Danelle Wilder and Martina Martinez were hired to comprise the inside sales team.



Meanwhile, Tim Reed was hired as a third outside salesperson. Reed has been with Weyerhaeuser for 10 years in a distribution capacity.



Taking up the role of product sales representative is Paul Bryant, who specializes in lumber procurement and sales.

The company has also invested over $150,000 to improve safety and efficiency in Richmond, with part of that money going toward paving and a new office.
