HAR-BRO, Inc. Names Jeff Koscher as Senior Account Manager

Restoration industry veteran joins southern California leader to extend full service portfolio

Long Beach, California September 21, 2011 — Celebrating 50 years in business, HAR-BRO, Inc., one of the largest privately held emergency services and restoration companies in the west, today announced the addition of a key team member: Jeff Koscher as Senior Account Manager covering the southern California region out of the Long Beach headquarters. An emergency services and restoration industry veteran with a wide range of expertise, Koscher brings to HAR-BRO a history of building outstanding customer relations through sales and marketing innovation.

“Jeff’s depth of experience in many sectors of our business makes him a valuable partner as we broaden existing client relationships and open new avenues,” said Fred Gladney, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development.

Koscher spent the past thirteen years with another company within the same industry, where he helped build the business through sales and marketing, website development, and customer service.

“Jeff has seen every side of this business,” said Tom Henley, Vice President and Branch Manager for the Southern California office. “In addition to his hands-on business development experience, he has a talent for creating customer expansion strategies to develop existing relationships into broader, full service portfolios.”

While Koscher had been long courted by various HAR-BRO team members, it wasn’t until he sat down with company President James Franklin and heard the philosophy around where HAR-BRO is and where they are going that he felt the culture would be a perfect fit for him.

Koscher stated, “I had other job offers from several competitors, but Jim really sealed the deal by his clearly projected Integrity. That along with HAR-BRO’s great reputation and fifty years in business made me believe I had the best opportunity to grow with them. I can’t wait to get to work!”
