Eric Palmer, Vice President and General Manager, is pleased to announce that Tristant
L. Langelier has joined the Sexton Group as the Business Development Manager for Quebec. In his new position, Tristant will be instrumental in building relationships and growing the membership in Quebec.
Sexton Group is poised to make inroads in Quebec with the dedication and focus of a new Business Development Manager who knows the market. There is an excellent opportunity to gain new members as Quebec is one of the fastest-growing markets. According to the 2021 Hardlines Retail Report, it has more than 1,100 hardware, building supply, and big box stores and represents more than one-fifth of overall retail home improvement sales in Canada.
"We have worked hard to strengthen our national footprint, and we are committed to bringing the full value of the Sexton Group to Quebec, and we are excited to enter this untapped market," says Palmer.
Tristant brings a solid 10 years of experience in sales and over 12 years of experience in the construction industry. He spent the last six years working for a subsidiary of one of Canada's largest aluminum and vinyl siding companies. Managing the province of Quebec and Eastern Ontario, he was instrumental in their success and developed a profound understanding of the market.
L. Langelier says, “It’s with great pleasure and excitement that I join the Sexton Group. I’m thrilled to bring over a decade of construction experience to the benefit of our vendor partners and members. I started my career as a carpenter myself, and I’m able to put myself in our customers' shoes, and I truly understand their day-to-day needs. In addition, business development is one of my passions, and I will work closely with our members to foster a results-driven approach.” He is looking forward to sharing his experiences and insights as a member of the Sexton Team and being a part of our growth.
Sexton Group prides itself on providing exceptional service to all members, including strong advocacy with vendor partners, providing transactional excellence and ensuring members remain competitive in local markets. “Tristant is a welcome addition to our professional and dedicated team of individuals who are focused on providing exemplary services to our members,” says Palmer. “I know he will do great things and drive results in Quebec.”
