Lucas McKearn, the Baton Rouge-based boutique lighting brand, has appointed David Brenneman as national sales manager.
Lucas McKearn – a family business that started more than five years ago as a merger of well-known Louisiana brand Flambeau Lighting and UK-based business Elstead Group – has taken a landmark step in its development by appointing its first national sales manager.
David Brenneman, who starts his role in November, said, “Having the chance to nurture and build a small boutique business into a brand of value and importance to U.S. and Canadian marketplaces, will be an exciting challenge for me. I am looking forward to sharing the opportunity with customers, especially with the Dallas January market just around the corner.”
Brenneman has been in the lighting industry for more than 18 years, most recently as national sales manager at Justice Design Group. Prior to that role, he has held similar positions with Matteo and Lite Source.
Joint president and group CEO Jonathan Lucas said, “Having a professional sales leader like David in the business will help connect us with the market considerably better than we have done so far, as well as helping to guide us to make the right steps in being the best vendor to the lighting showroom and designer channels. We believe we have a unique offer and are good at listening to market needs to become important and valuable partners to our customers.”
Lucas McKearn maintains showrooms in Dallas, Las Vegas, High Point and Atlanta.
