Chums, eyewear retainer and outdoor accessory brand and sister brand Beyond Coastal, sun care product manufacturer, have promoted Andrew Bergquist to West Coast sales manager.
Bergquist, formally head of customer service at Chums and Beyond Coastal, will now lead sales activations west of the Mississippi. As the West Coast sales manager, he will work closely with the company’s six existing rep agencies, who call on specialty outdoor retailers, to sell Chums and Beyond Coastal products. The position engages with retailers and sales reps and coordinates with internal departments to offer customers a superior experience.
Bergquist grew up in Minnesota and now resides in Salt Lake City. “Chums has treated me very well and I’ve learned a lot about the company from the ground up, starting as a customer service rep,” Bergquist said. “I’m lucky to have this opportunity and I look forward to the challenges and successes that are sure to follow.”
“We could not be happier to have Andrew as part of the Chums and Beyond Coastal sales team,” said Tom Ferries, national sales manager for Chums and Beyond Coastal. “He will bring great energy and sales ability to our team and we look forward to watching him grow both brands west of the Mississippi.”
