PHOENIX, AZ (January 2022) As Allied Group Sales celebrates its 25thAnniversary; the agency continues to strengthen its business growth by expanding its leadership team. Nick Hobbs was recently appointed as a principal partner in the electrical division with a key focus on the Legrand line of brands.
“Since joining Allied Group Sales in January 2020 I have had the great opportunity to work with, and learn from, many of the knowledgeable individuals at AGS,” remarked Nick Hobbs, Principal, VP Sales Electrical Legrand. “While working as a member of the Legrand team at AGS, I’ve been able to work in the everyday details of Wiremold, Cablofil, Pass and Seymour, On-Q, and Connectrac and learn about all of the fantastic products and services they offer. In that time, I’ve also had good exposure to the other parts of our business and I am proud to represent all of the manufacturers that Allied Group Sales has partnered with.”
Hobbs began his career in the electrical industry in 2009 after graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from UNLV. He began working for a lighting manufacturer with various responsibilities ranging from freight and logistics, to operations, and ultimately in a sales capacity. He later worked as a sales manager for the parent company and was responsible for sales and rep management over their 17-state western region. Hobbs’s diverse background combined with his sales experience gave him the perfect opportunity to join AGS in their management trainee program. He has spent his time at AGS learning all aspects of the agency business and building relationships with their customers and electrical manufacturers.
“I am passionate about people. I enjoy getting to know and help others whether it is at work, at home, or within the community. I love meeting people, learning their story and getting to know their interests and passions. Individual’s differences are a beautiful thing and I love that no two people are exactly alike. The sum is always greater than its parts and I love seeing that in action when working with others. I am so thrilled to be part of such a great team at AGS and look forward to supporting their efforts to better serve our customer and manufacturer partners.” added Hobbs.
