Baltimore, Maryland-based Northeastern Supply announced the recent hiring of four individuals.
Alan Cowan is Northeastern’s new vice president of sales. He manages residential, commercial and HVAC sales throughout Northeastern’s 34 locations.
Cowan has been in the plumbing and HVAC industry for 30 years, 16 of that with Northeastern. He started as a regional sales manager where he helped the company grow from 21 locations to where it is today at 34. Most recently Cowan took over the responsibilities of residential sales manager and soon after he was named VP of sales.
Northeastern noted Cowan has a forward way of thinking and a willingness to make decisions to accomplish great things. “My success is because of the good people that I’ve had around me for 16 years,” he said.
The distributor also hired Joe Pierce to be its new commercial sales manager for its plumbing division. Pierce is responsible for creating and executing commercial programs for the region’s contractors and improving Northeastern Supply’s immersion into the commercial plumbing market.
