  • Great place to share and learn!

    I love my Friday morning shot of wholesale distribution information from Kevin and Tom. Kind of sounds boring, but it’s not!It is a great way to learn about what’s going on in industrial distribution, and how current trends are impacting our business. It’s definitely not wonky, but very down to earth and enjoyable to listen to and participate.
