Alabama Graphics’ Sheila Caddell
This year marks our Vice President of Sales, Sheila Caddell’s 22nd Anniversary with the company. This is definitely something worth celebrating, as we don’t know what we would do without her.
When she first began working with us, she was in Supply Order Entry and Customer Service. But as you know her roles have changed, and so has the company in order to consistently meet our clients’ needs and stay up-to-date with the changing industry.
To learn more about her changing roles, as well as the changing industry, we sat down with her for a little Q&A.
- Throughout the past 22 years what roles have you held?
Throughout the past 22 years, I’ve held various roles, from Front Counter Customer Service to Purchasing, Small Format Manager, Production Manager, and Vice President of Production. And here I am now as Vice President of Sales.
- Since you’ve been with the company, what are the major changes that you’ve seen within the industry?
So many things have changed. For instance, ammonia blueprint machines have been replaced by LED toner based networked printers. With large rolls of original vellums, you used to need multiple sets printed, and delivered or shipped. But now all you need is an email with a multi-page PDF file attached and only a few sets printed.
The graphics industry has also changed dramatically over the years, going from having to print, mount, and laminate color graphics, to printing directly to substrates.
- What about ALGX has made you want to stay with us for 22 years?
I’ve stayed with the company because of the opportunity it offers, and the freedom to learn, share and expand my knowledge. I’ve always enjoyed being a part of this team of dedicated co-workers who are always focused on our clients.
- What’s your favorite part about your job?
My very favorite part of the job is providing clients with solutions. It’s why I come to work every day. Whether it be someone who needs their fine art reproduced onto a canvas or a Christmas card, a Wide-Format Printer for their office, or décor graphics printed and installed in 1 or 100 store locations.
Every day has a new challenge, and it’s exciting to use my creativity and outside-of-the-box thinking to offer our clients the solutions that they rely on us to provide.
We’ve recently had the opportunity to work on several large graphic projects, including a total store décor renovation, museum exhibits, campus wall murals and franchise canvas décor pieces. These projects were very exciting and are opening doors to other opportunities. It’s the perfect time to be in the industry, and I couldn’t ask to be part of a better company.
Please join us in congratulating Sheila on her 22nd Anniversary with ALGX. We’re very thankful to have her as our Vice President of Sales, co-worker, and friend.
