Furniture World Magazine

John Egger, the CEO of Profitability Consulting Group, announced the appointment of John McCloskey to the position of President Of Operations Consulting. "In this position, Egger stated, "John McCloskey will continue the traditions establish by his father, Bill McCloskey who in 40 years worked with more than 400 retailers including 40 of the top 100 designing warehouses." McCloskey brings to the consulting group a wide range of expertise developed as an operations manager for innovative firms like for Mayfair Furniture, Boyles Furniture and as Executive Director of Furnitureland South. "In the work I do with retailers, owners are often amazed to learn quickly a store can improve the bottom line when they focus in improving the efficiency of the back end." Said McCloskey when interviewed at a client’s store. "This operation is typical of the challenges we see in many stores." Said McCloskey, " The owners have done a great job on the front end of the business. They have a very high rate of sales per square foot, but the problems in the back end are keeping the profitability below what you would expect to see in a store that has so many things going right for it. The good news is most of the roadblocks to profitability increases are things that are easily corrected." With expertise in warehouse operations, management information systems, and inventory control processes, John is ready to help storeowners make dramatic improvements in profitability by streamlining the back end processes. "Today, more and more store owners are focusing on improving the profitability of their operations, and we are looking for McCloskey to be a key player in that effort." Said Egger.
