W.J. Grosvenor & Co., a flooring distributor with 10 locations across New England, has named Mark Parets director of sales. Parets' vast career has provided him with an understanding of all facets of residential and commercial installation products and applications, beginning more than 30 years ago at his family’s sales agency, Raznick-Faulkner (RF). There, he grew the residential and commercial flooring installation business by servicing floor covering supply distributors across the United States and Canada. Parets spent the past decade expanding the market footprint for a local Boston-based surface preparation manufacturer and has also worked as sales executive and manager for three manufacturers of adhesives, powders, tile products, tools, and sundry installation products.
