WTG Announces Retirement of Mike Phillips

Wildwood Trading Group (WTG) announces a significant leadership transition following the retirement of one of its founding partners, Mike Phillips, effective April 15.

Since its inception in September 2018, Wildwood Trading Group has experienced remarkable growth under the leadership of Mike, Kevin, and Grant. The company has not only increased its total sales but also established itself as an industry leader, supporting independent sawmills and customers. Key milestones include the addition of new reload locations and the expansion of PET unit saw capacity to
multiple locations across the US.

With Mike’s retirement, the company is excited to announce the promotion of Grant Phillips and Kevin Dodds to Co-Presidents. Kevin and Grant have been instrumental in driving Wildwood’s success and are well-prepared to lead the company into the future. Their combined expertise and innovative approach will ensure that Wildwood continues to excel and expand its market presence.

Grant and Kevin’s leadership has already resulted in significant achievements, including the enhancement of Wildwood’s sales staff, marketing reach, and customer service capabilities. Their vision for the company includes not only maintaining the high standards set by Mike but also introducing new strategies to
adapt to the evolving market landscape.

“The promotion of Grant and Kevin to Co-Presidents marks a new chapter for Wildwood Trading Group,” said Mike Phillips. “Their youthful enthusiasm and dynamic leadership will drive the company forward, building on the solid foundation we’ve established over the past five years. I have full confidence in their ability to lead Wildwood to even greater success.”

This transition sets the stage for further organizational developments, with additional promotions and changes to be announced in the near future. The extensive support team in Tualatin, Colville, and Portland has been pivotal in creating a profitable and exciting work environment, and this collaborative spirit will continue to thrive under the new leadership.

As Wildwood Trading Group looks to the future, the company remains committed to its core values and mission of providing exceptional marketing services to vendors and customers. The team is poised to build on past successes and explore new opportunities for growth and innovation.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mike for his years of dedication and leadership. His vision and commitment have shaped Wildwood into the thriving company it is today. While his daily presence will be missed, we are grateful that he will continue to offer his advice and support to Grant and Kevin as they lead the company forward.

Please join us in celebrating this exciting transition and the promising future of Wildwood Trading Group under the capable leadership of Grant Phillips and Kevin Dodds.

Sincerely,

The WTG Executive Team
