Transportation & Services last month by opening two new offices in Portland, OR, and Seattle. It’s a natural move for the company, which has built a client portfolio in the region that includes the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Microsoft, and Avid Technologies. Several cities in the area are also customers. Scott Stubbs, president and CEO of the firm, highlighted the move as a customer service initiative: “Our expansion into the Pacific Northwest and the addition of this team and its tremendous industry experience only reinforces our commitment of offering the best talent and expertise possible to our clients.” But with the boom in the region’s economy over the past 10 years, it’s clear that H.B. Stubbs sees additional opportunities in the local market. To that end, David Hancock joins the Portland office as the leader of the Interpretive Exhibits team. He will focus on new business development and manage fabrication and design/build projects for the interpretive and museum exhibit market. In Seattle, Byrne “Sparky” Sanford was named senior account executive to serve new and existing clients. H.B. Stubbs maintains sales and marketing offices in five other U.S. cities, including San Francisco and Chicago, and in London.
