Rick Trammel joins Blue Ribbon Supply Company

S SAN FRANCISCO, CA - November 1, 2011 - Blue Ribbon Supply, a leading wholesale distribution company providing a broad range of products and services to professional customers, is pleased to announce that Rick Trammel joined the firm this week as an account manager responsible for the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley territory.

"Rick Trammel has successfully driven business expansion for other companies using his skills in customer care," states John Dilena, General Manager of Blue Ribbon Supply. He continues, "Rick understands the importance of providing his customers with the value, innovation and outstanding service they have come to expect from Blue Ribbon Supply. In the short time he has been with us, he is already making an impact with our hotel, motel, laundry, education and commercial customers as an advisor who can help them succeed in today's highly competitive marketplace. We are delighted to welcome Rick to the Blue Ribbon Supply team."

Prior to joining Blue Ribbon Supply, Rick worked for Kimberly-Clark Corporation and several other companies involved in the paper, printing and publishing industry. Although new to commercial product sales and support, Rick brings a depth of experience and expertise to the company's already existing team of passionate and dedicated professionals. Rick is looking forward to assisting his customers with all of their needs - especially his hotel and motel accounts. Rick's hospitality customers (ranging from large hotel chains to franchised operations) have been a major focus of Blue Ribbon Supply during the past 40 years. Although originally well-known for its wide range of laundry vending products, Blue Ribbon Supply has consistently expanded its hospitality-specific product range to provide customers with product variety, including both front-of-house and back-of-house items - ranging from custom hotel guest amenities to commercial laundry products, housekeeping supplies, cleaning products and maintenance equipment. Some of its latest product line additions are featured on Blue Ribbon Supply's new online catalog which can be found at the company's new website: www.blueribbonsupply.com.
