One Team Hero: Sean Bland

Sean started his career with Exide in 2000 as a Contract Laborer in the warehouse.  Shortly after, Sean was identified as a stellar employee and was offered a full-time position with Exide.  Sean quickly picked up on everything there was to learn about the battery business.  One thing led to another and he was promoted to Line Lead and then on to Warehouse Supervisor.  Sean excelled at all the positions he had.  Eventually the opportunity came along for Sean to run the Richmond Warehouse as a Branch Manager.  Sean took the job and ran with it.  


Sean has worked for Exide, Battery Systems, and Continental Battery Systems. Through all the mergers and changes, Sean has consistently run a great branch.  The Richmond branch leadership has a great rapport with its staff and very little turnover.  The branch is very clean and well-run.  All of this can be attributed to Sean’s willingness to embrace change, learn new things, and work hard.  Sean instills all of the aforementioned values in the Richmond Team, and it shows every day.  The word TEAM and Richmond branch are synonyms with one another.  No one needs to be asked to do anything; they just do it because they are part of the TEAM.  Sean truly shows that hard work and dedication pay off in the end!
