AUBURN
Thos. Moser, maker of handcrafted American furniture, recently announced that former Bristol Seafood co-founder Darrell Pardy has become the company’s vice president and chief operating officer.
Thos. Moser President and CEO Aaron Moser made the announcement to employees in early June at the company’s Auburn headquarters.
“Darrell comes to our organization with over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience, and some extraordinary successes,” said Moser. “I am excited about this transition because it means the succession of my family’s business is in extremely good hands. With Darrell at my side, I will be free to explore and develop better external partnerships with customers, vendors and local businesses.”
Pardy, a resident of Brunswick, is no stranger to the Maine business landscape. He co-founded Bristol Seafood LLC in 1992 and before selling the company in 2016, he grew it into one of the largest seafood processors in Maine, with 75 employees and $40 million in annual sales.
Aaron Moser noted that Pardy, who has been the CFO with Thos. Moser for the last nine months, will immediately assume overarching responsibilities for the operations of the business, and will focus on identifying areas for improvement and gains in efficiency.
Pardy, an active member of Portland’s theater and arts community, said, “I am honored to be taking on an expanded role for the iconic Moser brand and to work with a family and community that I deeply admire and respect.”
The addition of Pardy to the Moser leadership team complements the recent hire of Adam Policky as director of sales and marketing, and Ted W.B. Regan, as director of business development and client relationships.
Thos. Moser was established in 1972 as a community of craftsmen who could make a living doing the work they loved. Today that community comprises some 70 fine craftsmen and women who are designers and makers of functionally driven, handmade furniture.
Thos. Moser operates six retail showrooms located in Freeport, Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco. More at thosmoser.com.
