BRENTWOOD, Tenn., December 15, 2008 … ForeFront Group, Inc., the leading supplier of premium golf accessories, today announced the opening of its new corporate headquarters at the Creekside Crossing office complex, located at 12 Cadillac Drive, in Brentwood, Tenn. Featuring 11,500 sq. ft. of Class A office space, the new office will house more than 40 ForeFront employees overseeing the Company’s golf marketing, sales, management and administrative operations for the Burton, Datrek, Devant and Miller Golf Brands.
In relocating its corporate headquarters from Springfield, Tenn. to Brentwood, Tenn., ForeFront’s new office offers an open work environment that encourages cross function interaction between the Company’s various operating areas. Three sides of the overall office feature large windows to allow for natural light, while private office spaces are adorned with large plate glass windows to allow light to enter the common areas, as well as to provide visibility to the campus-like setting of the development outside.
“We are very excited to establish our new corporate headquarters in Brentwood, with an office that is designed to provide the most professional, yet aesthetically pleasing work environment possible for our staff and management team,” said Stan Harris, Chief Executive Officer, ForeFront Group. “From the unique desks and seating that was selected to encourage teamwork and collaborative activities, to the pristine campus grounds and surrounding shopping, retail and restaurant offerings, this new location is perfect as we strive to enhance our golf business and leadership position in the marketplace.”
The debut of its new corporate headquarters in the Nashville market comes on the heels of ForeFront’s recent opening of a global distribution center in Baldwyn, Miss. The 200,000 sq. ft. ForeFront Center, which is strategically located in the middle of the United States, features 28 loading bays for shipping and receiving and over 20,000 sq. ft. of temperature controlled customization and assembly space.
One of the key features of the facility is the state-of-the-art receiving, order selection, picking, routing and shipping system utilizing radio frequency technology and bar codes to create an intelligent system for order fulfillment. It provides customers with efficient distribution and customization services through its extensive embroidery capacity and was developed to support the growth of the Company’s golf brands.
Adds Harris, “Our new corporate headquarters, along with the global distribution center, illustrates ForeFront’s commitment to expand our market’s leading golf accessory business, while seeking additional avenues for future growth.”
