Recognizing the importance of having a robust sales effort of warehousing, transportation, contract packaging and fulfillment to the marketplace, The Shippers Group wanted a savvy practitioner and client solutions veteran to lead the effort.

Hugh's primary responsibilities focus on customer relationships and customer solutions. His charge encompasses growth and expansion of The Shippers Group services further emerging as the industry's apparent national supply chain leader.
