Lights On Banks – Signature Service Team
Richard MacDonald
Warehouse Manager
Shipping, Receiving and Field Deliveries. Richard is the guy who looks after all of our “to-site” product deliveries and warehouse product movements– including assembling and hanging the fixtures in our showroom. He is always in-demand. Quiet, diligent, and reliable.
Lewis
Customer Service Dog-In-Residence
Lewis is the Miniature Dachshund you might see running around the showroom. He's still shy and learning to trust strangers, so he’s a bit growly and barky at times until he gets to know someone- but when he does he'll be rolling over for belly rubs!
Monica Connor & Michelle Morrow
Accounts Payable, Receivable, Inventory Reconciliation
Monica and Michelle can be found in the back office looking after our A/P and A/R – payables and receivables – as well as our product warranty and damages claims with our suppliers. They make sure our warehouse operations are accurate and up-to-date. Don’t know how they handle it all but they do - and with a smile!
Norton
Customer Service Dog-In-Residence
Sadly, Norton passed away in July, 2022. We all miss him!
