The National Wood Flooring Association has hired two new employees at its St. Louis headquarters: John Forbes as manufacturer services director and Adam Williams as marketing manager.
Forbes spent 12 years working at Eagle Lumber Company (Stamford, Conn.) as a project manager and six years running his own wood flooring contracting business, Foremost Custom Hardwood Floors (Stamford). He has extensive experience with all aspects of mill operations, including developing a flooring line conforming to NWFA and proprietary grades. In his new role, Forbes will work with NWFA manufacturer members to support programs such as the NWFA/NOFMA Mill Certification Program, the NWFA Responsible Procurement Program, the NWFA Accepted Product Seal Program and the NWFA Technical Call Center.
Williams has more than 10 years of experience in corporate and trade marketing, working most recently with Nestle Purina PetCare Company (St. Louis) and Demand Management (St. Louis), a company that provides software for forecast management, inventory planning and supply chain management. He has both print and online marketing experience, including social media, websites, video production, email marketing, magazine publishing, photography and design coordination. In his new role, Williams will manage all of NWFA's print and digital marketing needs.
