FEI adds Jim Bailey as new territory manager

Jim Bailey has joined FEI as a territory manager for its energy division. He will serve the northwest United States and is based in Washington.

According to FEI, Bailey’s 30-plus years of customer service and sales experience in the propane industry made him an ideal match for the company as it further develops customer relationships in Idaho, northern Utah and northern Nevada.

Bailey’s background in the propane industry started with delivery and service, eventually moving to management roles. His knowledge ranges from bookkeeping to bulk tanks, and he understands the demands from customers, challenges with manufacturers and the nuances of keeping a successful operation going strong. His additional training in hazardous materials, CDL restrictions and HVAC installations, along with his background in training and coaching, will also spur on the FEI efforts to keep customers informed of industry standards and restrictions, according to the company.

“Jim’s diverse background experiences in the field make him a perfect addition to our sales efforts,” says Jim Reddington, vice president of FEI’s energy division. “Not only has he driven the trucks, delivered the product and installed the services, but he also knows how to manage propane operations efficiently and effectively. We are looking forward to his contributions and hope our customers find him to be an excellent resource.”
