PMD Furniture Direct, Inc. Announces Its 2010 President's Club Winners

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- A select group of PMD Furniture Direct, Inc. (PMD) franchisees will head to Punta Mita, Mexico in May to celebrate becoming the latest members of the company's esteemed "President's Club." This honor is given to the top performing franchise owners and is based on their sales performance and an internal point calculation system from the prior year. The newest class of winners was announced at an awards banquet held earlier this month during PMD's National Sales Conference for franchisees in Glendale, Ariz.

"It's always great getting together with everyone to share exciting company news and updates," said PMD Founder, CEO and President Jeff Hosking. "But one thing that I look forward to most, during this time, is recognizing those members of the PMD family who've had an outstanding and fruitful year, and to encourage others to do the same. We believe it important to recognize great work, and the President's Club winners are examples of hard work paying off in many ways."

"Receiving this award is such an honor," said Charlie Colwell of Birmingham, Ala., PMD franchise owner and President's Club winner. "It's feels good to be recognized by the company's leadership in this way, which is something they don't have to do. They are generous because they care about their franchisees."

This year's President's Club winners have been awarded an all expenses paid trip to the five-star Punta Mita Four Seasons Resort. "PMD even invites our spouses as they recognize their roles in our success," said Colwell. "My wife and I are very excited to relax and have fun with the others in Mexico."
