Jobs and Pride Continue to Grow in Martinsville, Virginia

GSI recently announced the expansion of the Martinsville fulfillment facility in Henry County, Virginia. The partnership with Henry County began in 2007 when we acquired the facility.

Both Henry County and GSI are excited about this continued relationship and the bright future it holds as the expansion will bring more than 60 jobs to the community. During an event held at the Henry County Administration Building, Jim Cheng, Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade, expressed his appreciation for GSI’s ongoing support in Henry County and presented Mike Bomba, GSI vice president of fulfillment, with a check for $75,000 from the Governor’s Opportunity Fund to support the company’s recruitment and training activities. As a further sign of appreciation, Cheng also gave Bomba a state of Virginia flag to proudly fly outside the new facility.

[VIDEO] Don’t think fulfillment is competitive? Talk to Craig Hayes

Craig is vice president of fulfillment at GSI Commerce. I go into Craig’s office and introduce myself and immediately think:

Gosh, he’s really upbeat, affable and charismatic -- not exactly the image I associated with fulfillment and shipping. And, who the heck is this guy? On the wall is a picture of Craig shaking hands with vice president Al Gore. They look like they actually know each other. This photo is only outdone by the one above it – Craig with President Bill Clinton. Is he ex-Secret Service?

I had a list of probing questions ready and immediately nixed the first one: If fulfillment is so important, why is it the most forgotten and least sexy part of ecommerce? Check out the rest of my chat with Craig on the role of fulfillment in ecommerce.
