HUB Promotional Group, Braintree, Mass., announced the addition of Gerard Schifano as Northeast territory manager. The promotional products industry veteran joined HUB Promotional Group’s HUB Pen Company as a multi-line factory representative in 2015, representing the company in New Jersey, Southern New York and New York City.
Gerard had been in the industry since 1992 in sales manager roles before forming the Schifano Group and coming on board with HUB Pen. Since then he has received awards from regional associations for his work as a multi-line rep and supplier rep, and was recently named one of the best multi-line reps in the business by PPAI’s PPB Magazine.
“I have been so fortunate to have many mentors and friends who are both distributors and suppliers,” Schifano said. “I believe the most important ingredient in forming these partnerships is honesty, hustle and, most importantly, reliability.”
In his role as Northeast territory manager for HUB Promotional Group, Schifano will handle New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and parts of Pennsylvania.
“Gerard has strong relationships in these areas and has done some great work in this territory as [a multi-line rep], which makes him a perfect fit,” said Trina Bicknell, HUB Promotional Group’s vice president of sales. “We are all very happy to have him in this role.”
