TEI Group Gains Major Traction in Southeast

NYC-headquartered TEI Group gained major traction in the Southeast with its recent expansion to Alabama, Georgia and further across Florida. "Our Southeast expansion, from Tampa, Tallahassee, Miami, Alabama, Jacksonville and Georgia (in March) brings us closer to our customers while laying the foundation for growth beyond," Principal and Executive Vice President (VP) Southeast Chad Posey said. Headquartered in Birmingham, the Alabama office is being led by VP of Sales Michael Smith, a vertical-transportation professional with 13 years' experience, alongside VP of Operations Duff Whitmire. With more than 25 years' experience, Whitmire worked his way up from field operations into leadership and has been instrumental in developing TEI's Alabama region. The Jacksonville/Orlando, Florida, office is being led by East Florida Area Manager Donnie Chappell, who has more than 20 years' experience and worked his way up from field helper.
