The company said Roers and Bedford have played a significant role in the company’s success in category management, by fostering strong supplier partnerships and cultivating a team of skilled product experts.

According to Blackhawk, Bedford has strengthened supplier relationships through her leadership, and her promotion will enhance the company’s product and supply chain management.

“Brooke and Matt have consistently proven themselves as strategic leaders who deliver results,” BlackHawk VP of Category Management Jim Biel said in an Oct. 10 news release. “Their ability to cultivate relationships with top suppliers and manage complex responsibilities has been crucial to BlackHawk’s growth.”
