This month we have some great news to share with you. It’s our pleasure to tell you that the latest (February) issue of Wire Journal International has a profile and an interview with our President Edward Boyle! In case you didn’t already know, Wire Journal International is a monthly technical publication for the wire and cable industry. It’s a magazine that covers everything from feature and technical articles, to industry news and career opportunities. Wire Journal International has become the leading publication of its kind, and is widely read by management, marketers and manufacturing experts alike.
The profile primarily focuses on the change of ownership and leadership at Imperial Wire & Cable. Our company was founded in 1979, and almost exactly a year ago it was purchased by Ed. While you may know that the company recently changed owners, perhaps you didn’t know that behind the success of our new direction is not a veteran of the wire and cable industry, but someone who came from outside of it: before taking over at Imperial Wire & Cable, Ed worked as an IRS agent, a financial adviser and a director of compliance. Much of the profile focuses on the interesting challenges of coming to run an established company from outside its field.
Ed also talks about the many changes and developments that have happened since he took over a year ago. We’ve particularly invested in modernizing the technology that’s being used at the office, and elsewhere in the company – it has made a noticeable difference in work efficiency, which in turn has allowed us to put more time into what matters the most; making sure that our customers get the right products at the right time.
And, to cap things off, our future as a leading provider of wire and cable for sale online looks bright. As per the interview, there are new sales and marketing plans in the works, and from now on the next focus will be on growth. So, like we’ve said before, we think it’s going to be a great 2016, and we hope that you share it with us!
Congratulations, Ed! We look forward to many more years of success under your leadership.
