Oil Patch Bits: Vigor Industrial promotes Nichols and Fosheim

Vigor Industrial said April 5 that it has strengthened its sales and marketing team with the recent promotions of Bryan Nichols and Grant Fosheim, two maritime industry professionals.

Nichols joined Vigor Industrial in 2011 as a sales representative. He will now serve as manager of Vigor’s Sales and Marketing division, which is focused on the new build and major refit markets. Nichols will supervise Vigor’s sales staff and play a key role in developing the company’s overall sales and marketing strategy.

“We are fortunate to have Bryan Nichols on our team,” said Vince Piscitello, VP of Business Development at Vigor Industrial. “Bryan is a leading industry expert with extensive maritime experience in both the commercial and government sectors.”

Fosheim joined Vigor’s marketing department in 2011 as a marketing assistant, where he excelled in deploying key marketing initiatives. He will now serve as sales and marketing associate working closely with Nichols on sales and business development for new builds and major refits while continuing to develop and execute Vigor’s strategic marketing plan.

“Grant has done an exceptional job in his marketing role,” said Nichols. “We have known for some time that he would be a great addition to the sales team. He understands our customers’ needs and knows how to get things done. I’m looking forward to his expanded role.”
