Berger has decided to add an additional Territory Representative in California to help support you and your business. In the past they have had two Reps covering the entire State of California and in order to provide you with the necessary service they have decided to add a third rep.
At Berger they take hiring a sales rep very seriously and they look to hire someone that has the knowledge to help you in your greenhouse by providing the support necessary to ensure your success. Their reps have a combined 85 years’ experience in working in the areas of both sales and greenhouse production and look to bring fresh and innovative ideas to your growing media needs.
With this change the territories will be split up as follows:
Mike Hennequin - Territory: CA-W5NW, CA-NSSR and CA-NRED
Mike began his journey in 1994, giving him 22 years’ experience in the horticulture industry. Mike started out managing crop production at different sized greenhouses all over the country. He has worked at Homestead Gardens in Maryland, Clearwater Nursery in Idaho, El Modeno Gardens in Watsonville, and Schubert Nursery in Salinas. In 2005 Mike started in sales of growing media and has been with Berger the longest of our 3 reps. He has a vast knowledge of growing media and the effects that it can have in your production. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Horticultural Science from the University of Maryland and looks forward to the challenge of finding the right growing media for your business.
