Ferry brings over 20 years of senior management experience to Contact, having held president and c.f.o. roles at a number of companies both in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. 

 

"I couldn't be more excited about this opportunity," Ferry said. "While wood products is a new industry for me, there are many parallels to my previous manufacturing experience and the perspective I gained from aerospace and other industries will be valuable as we navigate the many diverse markets for the capabilities we have to offer." 

 

While Ferry focuses on working to grow the business in key industry segments and enhance manufacturing efficiencies , Pearson will be turning attention to longer term strategies for growth, including new product development and prospective new market initiatives.
