Tyler Pipe & Coupling is pleased to announce the promotions of Patrick Leonard to Eastern Sales Manager and Jeremy Blackhurst to Western Sales Manager.

"With the promotions of industry insiders like Patrick and Jeremy, they will be able to immediately apply their industry experience and leverage the relationships they've cultivated. It is clear that Patrick and Jeremy both exemplify the core values of our company and the future that we are building with our customers," said Sterling Bowman, vice president of sales for Tyler Pipe and Coupling.

Patrick has been with the McWane Plumbing Group working for multiple divisions for more than eight years, including the Northeastern Regional for the last three years. As regional manager, Patrick grew sales each quarter while he was representing Tyler Pipe. Jeremy has been the manager of McWane Plumbing Technical Services for the last year and has held multiple positions within Tyler sales over his tenure.

Both men will both report directly to Bowman who will continue his responsibilities managing the Tyler Pipe sales team and manufacturers' representatives.

"Patrick's extensive knowledge of cast iron pipe and couplings, and having sold Wade Drains in the past, makes him an ideal resource for contractors looking for the complete plumbing solution," said Kurt Winter, executive vice president of McWane Plumbing Group. "In addition, Jeremy will bring his technical knowledge to the sales process having come from our MPG Tech Services group."
