Jenny Heinzen York — Home Accents Today,
\nOneCoast has put even more impact behind its name with the acquisition of Ruddell & Associates, a northern California sales rep group that also has a presence in Nevada.
\n
\n\t\t
\nThis latest addition, which follows hard on the heels of the acquisition in May of Collective Home, a southern California rep group, further emphasizes the “nationwide” aspect of the company.<\/p>\n
“This latest addition creates the largest national provider of sales and marketing services to suppliers and retailers of home decor, gift and collegiate products,” said Ted Teele, CEO.<\/p>\n
Ruddell & Associates represents Tag, Thymes, Mud Pie, Beanpod Candles, Jody Coyote, Bailey Street Trading Co., Feizy Rugs, Ariel Art and Blue Mountain Arts.<\/p>\n
All Ruddell employees have been absorbed by OneCoast. Dave Moore, co-managing partner of Ruddell & Associates, joined the OneCoast management team as regional vice president, OneCoast West Gift. Linda Carey, co-managing partner, has joined OneCoast as vice president of strategic relationships, home.<\/p>\n
“The people in this business are here because they love it – they love the products,” Teele said. “You have to have that caring touch, but Ruddell brings an accountability, professionalism and a corporate background as well.”<\/p>\n
OneCoast will continue to operate a showroom in the San Francisco Giftcenter and Jewelrymart and a second in the San Francisco Furniture Mart.<\/p>\n
“This acquisition is really a keystone for us,” Teele said. “Northern California is the one piece of the country where we didn’t have coverage.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
