Q&A

TALKING WITH

Cindy
Andrews
How did you become involved with NEWH?

The network that NEWH provides is truly one-of-a-kind. Joining this organization gave me
the opportunity to potentially work with some of the best designers, architects, and fellow
suppliers in the business, which has led to opening new doors for my company.

What has NEWH done for you, both personally and professionally?

I have developed lifelong friendships with so many people across the country. Throughout
my time with NEWH, I've had a great deal of help from fellow suppliers, from sharing their
industry knowledge and the latest news to hiring new representatives. I've also had the
privilege of working with industry leaders to develop new products and product ideas.
Furthermore, it has provided an opportunity for my daughter to meet new people as she
was coming out of college. Recently, she joined the United Kingdom chapter for one of its
annual events.

President, Sunbrite Outdoor
Furniture, and membership
director, NEWH, Inc.

In your role, what do you have planned for 2018? What are you most looking
forward to?

During my time as membership director for the NEWH, Inc. board, I have had the pleasure of
working with some great chapter membership directors who continue to develop new ideas
in order to grow our organization with new members. I look forward to continuing to serve
on the board in 2018, possibly in a new position.

What are some of the highlights of 2017?

Some of the highlights of 2017 are Katie and Kacey Kester, Jim Lyons, and Jonathan Kaler.
These three have joined our team and brought phenomenal opportunities to Sunbrite. We
are so fortunate to have them working with us, and we look forward to many fulfilling years
with them.

Tell us a bit about your company and what's new.

Sunbrite Outdoor Furniture was started in 1953. My husband, Will Andrews, and I were
fortunate to have the opportunity to purchase it in 2002, and we are happy to be celebrating
our 15th year in business. We are looking forward to launching an entire new look and trend
in late 2017.

Trend/movement you are paying attention to in the industry?

With outdoor products, we constantly pay attention to what works in the outdoor
environment. We love the fact that many of our products are environmentally friendly
and can be recycled. However, outdoor environments can be quite challenging, so we are
continuously researching and developing new materials that will work best. ❙❘❚
