Cali Bamboo has named Tom Tidmore as its new Director of Business Development. Tidmore is known for spearheading new trade partnerships, sales management, and sales operations, as well as repositioning within multiple building materials and home improvement companies including Shaw Industries, Interior Specialists Inc., and Pirch Kitchen and Bath. He brings over 30 years of industry experience with a focus on manufacturing, distribution, and dealer and commercial flooring.
āTom has a solid track record of taking companies to the next level. He also has a knack for reinforcing these organizations when theyāre poised for a new boom in growth, just as weāre seeing at Cali. Weāre excited to be on the precipice of that wider playing field, and with leaders like Tom joining the team, weāre more ready than ever,ā saidĀ Cali Bamboo President and CEO, Doug Jackson.
Cali has long supplied its building products like solid and engineered flooring, luxury vinyl plank, and composite decking across a disruptive omnichannel platform, and already operates a residential direct-to-consumer channel, dealer channel, big box channel, and a trade channel. Itās the latter that Tidmore eyes with particular interest.
āItās this professional channel that weāre expanding,ā he says. āYou can see in our 81 Net Promoter Score that we have incredible brand loyalty with the consumer. Weāre applying that commitment to a world-class experience to our trade partners by developing new ways to support their needs.
That business development acumen will now be directed at accelerating Caliās already aggressive growth, right on the heels of the companyās 10th year on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list.
āThis is the right time for Tom to come aboard,ā says Jackson. āItās the right time for Cali, and the right time for our partners — both current and future ones. Our omnichannel reach is getting stronger, broader, and smarter. And weāre just getting started.ā
