August 21, 2014 (Addison, Texas) – Group CBS, Inc., with commercial interests in electrical supply, field service, and engineering throughout North America, is pleased to name John Namnoum general manager of the group’s newest affiliate, Circuit Breaker Sales NE, Inc. (Seymour, Conn.).

At his last position as a financial manager for a local manufacturer of electrical distribution equipment, Namnoum instituted a new job-costing system that improved service delivery and productivity while reducing change orders; initiated the company’s first comprehensive employee review process; and reduced customer returns and improved billing transparency, which reduced outstanding commitments by 20%.

“As a longtime local resident, I’m excited about the additional capabilities we’ll bring to our utility, industrial, and commercial electrical customers through CBS Northeast, including the inventory, services, testing capabilities, and support of Group CBS and its 19 electrical affiliate companies,” Namnoum says.

“John was the right pick for us to expand Group CBS’s electrical franchise into the Northeast,” says Bill Schofield, vice president of Group CBS, Inc. “John has a long history in the local community and an excellent background in management. He has demonstrated the same commitment to both customer service and personnel management that is the standard at Group CBS affiliates in the southern and western United States. With the added support of Group CBS inventory and the engineering and service capabilities of our affiliates, CBS Northeast can be the dependable partner electrical customers in the Northeast deserve.”
