Rug Doctor Set to Expand Into New markets

 

PLANO, Texas – March 3, 2016 – Rug Doctor, has established a new business development team to leverage the growing appeal for Rug Doctor branded machines. The 43-year old brand has built its name on rental machines that deliver carpet cleansing results that rival professional services at a fraction of the cost. Rug Doctor has trained more than 50 million people how to deep clean their own carpets, and for people with more frequent needs to deep clean lots of different surfaces, Rug Doctor now has versatile new products people can own. Among the business development team’s first initiatives is to sell the brand into new verticals including auto, pet, multifamily housing and commercial channels.

Heading up the business development team as president is Harrison Dean, a seasoned sales executive with more than 20 years of experience in developing teams and driving top-line growth for organizations such as Garretson Resolution Group and Inmar. A former colleague from Inmar, Garry Church has been named senior director of business development. Church joins Rug Doctor from Pleio, and began his career as a merchandising specialist at Lowe’s. Austin Ferguson rounds out the business development team as senior manager, and also brings with her experience from Garretson Resolution Group and Inmar.

CEO Travis Lewis joined Rug Doctor in April 2015, and is driving Rug Doctor’s strategy for growth.

“Rug Doctor has over 80 percent brand awareness and strong market share. The brand leads in rentals, and now it’s time to increase our market share in other verticals,” said Lewis. “With the addition of Harrison, Garry and Austin, we have the right people in place to show consumers that Rug Doctor helps them clean more than just dirty carpets in the home.”

Rug Doctor has 80 employees in its Plano headquarters. The brand also maintains a manufacturing facility in Fenton, Mo., more than 35 warehouse distribution points across the U.S., and international operations in the United Kingdom, Canada, Puerto Rico, Australia and more.
