Dear Hiring Executive,
As a VP of Merchandising and Development at Perry Manufacturing from 1996-2008,
I am honored to recommend Peggy Hatcher for employment. Peggy worked for Perry i
n various stages of production early in her career with Perry. She learned the b
usiness end to end and was ultimately recognized as a leader and role model to t
he entire company. Peggy advanced to, Manager of Costing, a senior level positio
n reporting to me in her final position with the company. The company ultimately
closed in early 2008 as a result often worldwide financial crisis.
Perry Manufacturing was a private label manufacturer of women, men and youth app
arel. Perry's primary production locations were in Central America, Asia and Afr
ica. The company competed against fierce International competition for all order
s. The company average net revenue of $140MM annually. Perry produced a minimum
of 30K sku's annually of mostly new product each season. I mention this backgrou
nd because as the Manager of Costing Peggy established the foundation of each pr
oduct manufactured by the company through a precise evaluation of every step req
uired in the production process. Peggy determined if each style could be manufac
tured effectively often making creative suggestions to alter the construction fo
r improved efficiency and to meet target price challenges. She became well known
throughout our customer base for her product knowledge.
Peggy's product analysis included an engineering breakdown of labor, raw materia
ls, trim components, overhead, freight and import duties if applicable. Peggy re
volutionized the costing process at Perry by improving cost turnaround time from
more than one week on many items to less than 24 hrs. She regularly operated he
r department in a demanding environment satisfying the needs of all VP's of Sale
s and Account Executive. Peggy was able to effective manage the most demanding p
ersonalities and circumstances with a unique ability to manage priorities and re
solve all conflict. She regularly communicated and traveled to our offshore manu
facturing facilities for process improvement projects. Peggy handled all assignm
ents and challenges with acan doa attitude
on every single task.
Lastly, I would add that errors and miscalculations in costing can be detrimenta
l to a manufacturing company but to Peggy's credit, she does not make mistakes!
Peggy's contribution is one of the major factors in the continued success of Per
ry Manufacturing during the last decade. For all these reasons, I highly recomme
nd Peggy and know she will be a tremendous asset to your company.
Sincerely,
,."\.
