Bailey Nurseries has announced that Dave Warning will be the company’s first Grower Specialist Sales Representative for the Upper Midwest market. Warning will work specifically with grower customers in Illinois, Wisconsin and western Indiana to manage their unique needs, according to a press release.
Warning has been a territory sales representative at Bailey Nurseries for almost 14 years in the Chicagoland and western Indiana region. He has a strong track record of customer service, growth and faroward-thinking goals that will be of great benefit to his new role, according to the release. His expertise in bareroot product and JumpStarts, Bailey Nurseries’ new quart-sized potted liner program, will be particularly useful for growers.
“We are excited at the knowledge and experience he brings to this position,” said Bailey Nurseries sales manager Ted McDonald. “Dave has strong relationships within the territory, and allowing him to focus on this essential market channel will be an incredible asset to our customers.”
In addition to his work at Bailey Nurseries, Warning is a member of the experience committee for iLandscape, taking place this week in Schaumburg, Ill.
