ESC at the BR+A Nick Johnson Memorial Golf Outing

ESC was proud to be the Platinum sponsor for the BR+A Nick Johnson Memorial Golf Outing last Thursday, July 16th at The International Golf Club in Bolton. It was a perfect day of golf for the 228 golfers who attended. Boston Cigar Factory had cigar rollers on each course to help golfers either celebrate their great game or try to turn things around with a cigar. After the day of golf, attendees enjoyed a great dinner and participated in raffles all to raise money and awareness for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The night concluded with a slide show and some loving speeches remembering BR+A employee and MDA advocate, Nick Johnson.

 

As always, it was a great event and ESC is honored to be a part of it every year.

Here are some great snap shots from the day…

Deliveries Rolling Out of ESC’s New Central Distribution Center

135,000 SF building stocked with products from more than 100 vendors

ESC is pleased to announce that the company’s new 135,000 square-foot Central Distribution Center, based in Woburn, Mass., is officially open and rolling out delivery orders. The counter and will call opening will be announced shortly.

Located at 205 Wildwood Ave., the CDC is ESC’s hub of all delivery orders, receiving, and will call. While all other branches of ESC will remain fully functioning, the CDC will allow for a larger array of product and the ability to serve many more customers.

The CDC offers 12 loading dock doors and a pick-up area. All deliveries will be received and shipped from the 205 Wildwood Ave. location, including same day, early morning and late nights. Additionally, the CDC carries commercial and residential-designed product from more than 100 different vendors, including Pass & Seymour, Siemens, and Murray. Product come in all shapes, sizes and designs, and ranges from small TEK screws to a 112 KV Transformer.

“As ESC continues to grow in terms of size and customer base throughout New England, we are excited to provide our customers more product depth and more product quantity, with a one-stop location to fill their necessary product needs,” said ESC President, Larry LaFreniere. “The new CDC was opened with all new inventory double the value of our inventory in Burlington to ensure customer fill rates. We didn’t want to have a ‘big mover over day’ that could risk customer service, so we bought all new. In essence, we will be running two CDC inventories for the near future. The convenience of our location and our product offerings helps cement our reputation as the premier distributor of electrical equipment and supplies.”

Will call pickup is available at ESC’s Burlington headquarters building at 200 Middlesex Turnpike.

ESC Announces New Hires

Michele Sebastiao and Ken Hackett New Members of ESC Team in Burlington

Electric Supply Center (ESC), the region’s leading distributor of electrical equipment and supplies, is pleased to announce the addition of two new hires to the company – Michele Sebastiao as a Project Manager in ESC’s Lighting Department and Ken Hackett as Outside Sales Account Manager for ESC.

Both employees will operate out of ESC’s headquarters in Burlington, Ma., yet Hackett will also spend time on the road to develop and maintain client relationships to help continue ESC’s recent growth and achieve the company’s long-term goal of being the leading Electrical distributor in New England.

As a Project Manager in ESC’s Lighting Department, Sebastiao will be responsible for estimating and project managing lighting projects at ESC; furnishing accurate and timely estimates to contractors throughout New England; lighting quote generation; and vendor and customer communication. A West Roxbury resident, Sebastiao previously worked as a Project Manager for several companies.

With over eight years of Project Manager experience to her name, Sebastiao has a robust record of achieving critical objectives and timelines, as well as an extensive background in interior design and lighting consulting. She is a graduate of Endicott College in Beverly, Ma., having earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design.

In his new role at ESC, Hackett will work to determine customer needs and propose appropriate service needs to provide cost savings to help ESC clients achieve financial success on every job they do. Hackett will also develop and maintain an awareness of market behavior and competitive trends and respond accordingly to ensure ESC business goals are met or exceeded.

A Belchertown, Ma. native, Hackett is an electrical industry sales professional with 25 years of experience in the industry, all with the same organization. Initially working in Inside Sales and Warehouse capacities, Hackett was ultimately promoted to the positions of Account Manager, and then Senior Account Manager, where he was a key contributor to the Central New England region through the oversight of multiple key accounts and sales of entire electrical portfolios.

“We are excited to have Michele and Ken on board with ESC,” said ESC President, Larry LaFreniere. “Their leadership and management capabilities will be greatly beneficial to our company as we continue to grow in both size and customer base throughout New England.”

Is your supplier keeping up with your specific expectations?

Project delivery expectations continue to increase on an ongoing basis, with pressure to complete tasks and produce faster results changing each day. You buy the latest equipment and train your team on the latest technology, all the while pushing yourself to surpass your clients’ expectations …But is your supplier rising to the occasion? If your supplier falls behind, you fall behind – plain and simple. As you work fast and efficiently, you need a supplier with the ability to match your output.

That is why ESC is pleased to announce the addition of a brand new distribution center in Woburn. Construction continues to create demanding work environments, and your supplier needs the proper space for inventory; the proper technology; and, most importantly, the proper drive to help you compete in the marketplace. Imagine what could be produced if your supplier is by your side, saying, “We can help you with that,” as opposed to, “Good luck with that.”

That’s why ESC is always driven to help you compete!
