"It has been a long time coming, and I could not be happier that we now have an East Coast presence representing Markon's purchasing culture, food safety and membership with the addition of Anthony Easterling," said Mark Shaw, VP Operations at Markon. "This newly created position will play a pivotal role in increasing our face-to-face representation with both our shipping community and distribution centers based across the Midwest and East Coast."
