Los Angeles, California – Pacific Trellis Fruit / Dulcinea Farms, headquartered just east of Downtown LA’s Arts District, continue to add talent to their roster.
As General Manager Josh Leichter explains: “As 2018 got underway, we saw an opportunity to improve our logistics. At the same time, we also wanted to put renewed focus on our branding across all channels. We are happy to welcome Brad Lukesh and Thorsten Rhode to our team – they will strengthen us in their respective fields going forward.”
Brad Lukesh, Director Logistics, is tasked with more efficiently and effectively managing all transportation needs, including deliveries to customers, transfers of product and delivery of materials.
