BOURBON, MO – Imperial Headwear, the #1 headwear brand for Private and Resort golf facilities as reported by the Association of Golf Merchandisers (AGM) in their Member Survey the last 3 consecutive years, announced that John Bond, Vice President of Sales – Golf, has stepped down.
“We were fortunate to have brought John to Imperial over 2 years ago,” said Mike Wrightson, president of Imperial. “His knowledge of the industry and passion for our business played an integral role in growing Imperial into the leadership position it is in today.”
Bond, a graduate of the Professional Golf Management Program at Ferris State University, has been in the golf industry for over 30 years. He previously served at Imperial for more than 10 years and then spent 7 years at Pukka before coming back to Imperial in 2015.
“I am very happy to have been a part of Imperial for the second time in my career,” said John Bond. “After Paramount Apparel International’s acquisition of Imperial in 2012, it was a completely different set of circumstances to be tasked with helping Imperial re-emerge as the premier golf headwear brand. But today the Company is doing extremely well and I’m grateful to have played a large part in the transition. Now it’s time for me to start looking for my next challenge.”
John Bond has graciously agreed to stay with Imperial in a consulting capacity for the next 6 months, to aid in the transition out of his sales management role and into the next step in his distinguished career.
