Growth Igniter - Team Grill names Bill Fulton President

A proven leader and retail marketer, Fulton unveils plans to strengthen distribution and product promotion.

Acton, Mass. — Aug. 17, 2011 — Team Grill has named Bill Fulton, a proven leader and retail marketer, company president, and is expanding distribution and rounding out its line-up of high-quality grills for avid sports fans.

Fulton, formerly VP and GM of Middleton, Mass.-based Bostik Inc.’s Construction & Distribution Division, brings with him more than 25 years of retail management experience.

“How could I pass up the opportunity to ignite growth throughout Team Grill, an organization that so adeptly marries business and pleasure?” Fulton asks.

“Team Grill combines two passions of mine — and of most other Americans — outdoor grilling and professional sports,” Fulton adds. “By expanding our roster of world-class products and distribution partners, Team Grill will become a household name — just like the NFL, MLB, NBA, CFL and college teams whose logos adorn our grills,” Fulton adds.

Under Fulton’s direction, Bostik’s Construction & Distribution Division quadrupled sales to more than $200 million while bolstering operating income more than six-fold. Fulton is committed to repeating the feat at Team Grill.

Fulton resides in Topsfield, Mass., with his wife, Darcy. The Fultons have two grown children: John, a TV personality, and Diona, a teacher and nationally ranked marathoner.

Team Grill has licensing agreements in place with the NFL, MLB, NBA, CFL and more than 30 college teams. Team Grill’s sleek, logoed gas grills allow sports enthusiasts to show their team spirit on game day and every day, while cooking up some of the best barbecue in town.

“‘Serious grills. Serious fans.’ Those four words summarize why Team Grill was launched years ago and they will continue to guide us as we ignite growth throughout the company and outdoor living and sports enthusiast marketplaces we serve,” Fulton says.

“Stay tuned: Team Grill has big growth plans that encompass expanding our national distribution network, strengthening product promotion and launching a value-engineered gas grill for today’s increasingly price-conscious consumers,” Fulton adds.
