Diverse Companies, a synergistic group of brands instituted by J. Wesley Hardin Sr., is thrilled to
announce the newest acquisition - DGA Trendsetters. DGA Trendsetters is a full-service manufacturers rep group with territory managers in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska. Andrea McEvoy, a long-time enthusiast for the wholesale gift industry, is the mastermind and president behind this group.
DGA Trendsetters was brought to life by Dick and Judy Gibson in 1987; Dick Gibson and Associates made its home in the "6100 Building", the premier wholesale market in the Pacific Northwest. Dick Gibson and Associates consisted of two divisions: Gift and then the Home Division; around 2007, the divisions merged into one, and the company purchased Trendsetters, a small agency also based in Seattle, changing the name to DGA Trendsetters.
In 1997, Dick Gibson took a leap of faith on a "green" salesperson, Andrea McEvoy, to cover the Northwest Oregon territory for Dick Gibson and Associates. Nineteen years later, Andrea purchased DGA Trendsetters from Dick and Judy, who still work with Andrea to this day, covering the state of Montana.
McEvoy has grown up in this industry and "loves the diversity of her day-to-day job. Whether she meets with colleagues at a gift show, works at home while sitting in the garden, or drives around the beautiful Pacific Northwest to meet with retailers, every day is different." With her new partnership with Diverse Companies, the opportunities to continue to grow are endless.
Though Wes Hardin and Diverse Companies have acquired DGA Trendsetters, there will be zero changes in the day-to-day operations, and business will remain as usual. There will be no disturbance to the machine McEvoy created in the Pacific Northwest.
Behind Diverse Companies, Wes Hardin stated, "The Pacific Northwest is an area where we are seeing notable growth with an array of key customers. Andrea's exceptional entrepreneurial spirit and charisma will have no bounds for their continued growth. Diverse Companies is lucky to have her and all of DGA Trendsetters on our team!"
