Mr. Bradford’s previous professional experience includes working more than twenty years for CEEC, a Meriden, CT based, multi-location, electrical products distribution company serving the contractor, commercial, industrial, and institutional markets. Mr. Bradford became president of the closely held, family owned company in 1998, and was the sole active family member thereafter. In addition to the invaluable experience he gained in the areas of sales, operations, financial, and personnel management, Bradford negotiated the leases of the company’s branch locations, and served as owner/landlord for the company’s 23,000 sq ft corporate headquarters and distribution center located in Meriden, CT. Recognizing the distribution industry’s trend toward rapid consolidation, Bradford positioned the company for its 2005 sale to Massachusetts based Standard Electric Supply Co., and subsequently remained with the company as its Finance & Administration Manager until March, 2007.
