Mar-Lees Seafood LLC on Tuesday appointed John Baxter as national sales manager-retail.
Baxter brings more than 15 years of experience in value-added seafood sales. His appointment is part of a larger effort at the New Bedford, Mass., seafood company to expand its presence at the retail level.
"We will begin by expanding and refining Mar-Lees' retail broker network," said Zac Schwarzbach, VP of sales and marketing for Mar-Lees. "Once we have established the proper foundation, the sky is the limit for Mar-Lees. With our access to the scallop resource, our strong customer base, and our fantastic line of appetizers and value-added items, we are advantageously situated to expand sales and lead the retail marketplace in the coming years."
