House-Hasson Expands Leadership with New Sales Appointment

House-Hasson Hardware, a leading name in the regional hardware distribution sector, has made a significant move by appointing Dave Doering as its Senior Vice President of Sales. This decision signals the company's commitment to expanding its reach and enhancing the service it provides to its extensive network of independent dealers.

A Wealth of Experience

Dave Doering brings over 30 years of experience in sales and product management, having established himself as a recognized leader in customer service. Known for driving double-digit sales growth in a variety of roles, Doering's previous tenure at IPS Corp. saw him succeed as vice president and general manager of retail eCommerce, where he engaged with major retailers such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Amazon.

“House-Hasson is growing,” remarked Steve Henry, CEO of House-Hasson. “Our dealer network is expanding in terms of both quantity and geographic reach, and Dave’s proven track record in increasing sales across multiple platforms made him an ideal fit for the team.”

A Focus on Family and Community

In his new role, Doering aims to enhance the strong family culture that House-Hasson is known for. He believes that despite being a sizable company, the personal, family-like approach towards dealers sets the company apart from competitors. “I appreciate that dealers have direct access to leadership, including the CEO,” he stated, emphasizing his intent to be equally approachable.

The company, founded in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1906, has expanded significantly over the years to serve customers in 25 states as well as the Caribbean. House-Hasson’s ongoing commitment to dealer profitability and customer service is evident in its operational strategies and service model.

Future Growth and Development

Under Doering’s leadership, House-Hasson aims to build on its established success and attain new milestones. The company has recently been involved in strategic acquisitions, such as the purchase of Bostwick-Braun's distributorship assets, which have expanded both its inventory and warehouse capabilities significantly. Now, with four warehouses across different states, House-Hasson services approximately 2,500 independent hardware stores.

Upcoming Events and Dealer Markets

The company hosts three dealer markets annually, providing its dealers with opportunities to source products at favorable prices, thus enhancing their sales margins. The upcoming dealer market is scheduled for January 30 to February 1, 2025, at the renowned Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee. This event showcases House-Hasson's commitment to supporting its dealers by offering competitive pricing and a broad array of products that meet their operational needs.

As House-Hasson continues to grow and innovate, the addition of a dynamic leader like Dave Doering is expected to reinforce its foundational principles while steering it toward future success. “I’m excited to work with a talented team dedicated to making a significant impact for independent dealers,” Doering added, pledging to uphold the core values that have allowed House-Hasson to flourish in a competitive market.
