Progressive Gourmet Welcomes Its New National Sales Director, Jack Courtney.

Jack is a great addition to the Progressive Gourmet team with his 20 plus years of experience within the food industry. Starting his career in the food industry as a maitre d' at a hotel, he was heavily influenced by quality products and a customer service driven attitude. While later owning his own gourmet food cafi, Jack was exposed to the many different aspects of the food industry and greatly enjoyed servicing his customers. Making his way to the manufacturing side, he worked with bakery manufacturers such as Pillsbury Bakeries and Turano Baking Company where he expanded his goals to helping companies grow from regionally to nationally known recognition. Food service has always been his passion and selling gourmet foods is what brought Jack to Progressive Gourmet. Being previously familiar with the company, Jack knew Progressive Gourmet offered great products to people who appreciate them and that's exactly what he wanted to be a part of. In Jack's words: "Id rather sell a Mercedes than a Chevrolet and Progressive Gourmet is the Mercedes of gourmet food."
