Herbert Lumber Announces Promotion

I am pleased to announce Krista Chambers, our current Shipping Manager, has been promoted to the position of Lumber Sales Manager effective October 1, 2024. This well-deserved promotion reflects Krista’s exceptional performance, leadership, and deep understanding of our operations. Krista has roots within the logging and timber industry dating back to her childhood. She grew up watching her father fall timber, her brother, also employed by Herbert Lumber, is an intricate part to our sawmill operations, and most of you at one time or another probably received outstanding service from her mother, Kris Lewis, who was cherished and well-known within the industry. She even worked summers in a local mill to pay her way through college which gave her a unique perspective from the production side of sawmilling.

Krista has been married to her husband for 19 years with two witty teenagers they raised in our local community.  Krista has proven she has a passion for the lumber industry and her commitment to our company is invaluable. Herbert Lumber Company is proud to have her as a part of our team and value her thoughts, ideas, and creativity not only in lumber sales but in overall business aspects.  

Throughout her time as Shipping Manager, Krista has demonstrated an outstanding ability to streamline our logistics, maintain excellent customer relationships, and ensure timely deliveries. These skills, combined with her extensive knowledge of our products and manufacturing philosophies, make her a perfect fit to lead our sales and shipping team into new opportunities and growth.

In her new role, Krista will oversee all aspects of our sales strategy, including relationship management, client acquisition and market expansion. We are confident that she will excel in this new capacity and continue to contribute to the company’s success.

Please join me in congratulating Krista on this exciting new chapter within our company. We look forward to her continued success and leadership in the sales department.

Best regards,

Joelle McGrorty – Director of Human Resources – Herbert Lumber Company
