Creedmoor Sports Promotes Gina Williams

Thursday, March 23rd, 2017

Gina Williams

Creedmoor Sports is excited to announce the promotion of Gina Williams to the position of Customer Care and Operations Manager.

Gina reports directly to Greg Kantorovich, President/Owner of Creedmoor Sports. Gina will be responsible for directing all matters in providing Creedmoor customers with the best customer service possible, in addition to managing Operations.

“Gina’s 12 years of experience of working directly with Creedmoor’s customers provides her with a deep appreciation of the efforts required to provide superb service to Creedmoor’s customer base. Customers from all over the world have taken time to express how Gina treats them as if they were one of the Creedmoor family and how she truly enjoys helping them with their shooting needs,” explained Greg Kantorovich, President of Creedmoor Sports.

“As Creedmoor’s customer base continues to grow, we felt it was important to have one person coordinating all the activities associated with customer care,” said Greg. “We have watched a lot of companies in growth periods and the first thing they seem to lose touch with is their commitment and involvement with their customers. We couldn’t think of anyone better than Gina to act as our guardian to ensure we always keep the close connection we have with our customers. This isn’t about making sure the packages go out the fastest in the industry or some metric that people pride themselves on achieving for measuring customer care. It is simply about focusing on our customers, keeping the personal connection with them, treating them as an individual and not as customer number umpteen thousand. Our customers chose to spend their free time in the precision rifle arena and with us. Trust me; Gina will make sure we help them enjoy every moment.”

Specially designed segmented interior foam panels provide an active, flexible fit, and cooling channels on the interior back keep the wearer cool. Fits better than size small adult vests for enhanced performance both in and out of the water.

Traction Gloves. Engineered for fishing and a first for Mustang Survival, the Traction Gloves were tested in Mustang Survival’s R&D lab proving a 30-50% grip improvement over bare hands. In further lab testing, the Traction Open Finger Gloves also showed a significant dexterity increase over bare hands, and the entire line is designed for enhanced wet grip performance. Whether fishermen are seeking sun protection, or a little extra warmth on cold mornings, there are multiple Traction Glove styles and weights available to provide protection from the elements.

Gear Haulers. Using material and technology knowledge gained from decades of experience designing and manufacturing dry suits for military, coast guard and rescue teams, the new line of Gear Haulers from Mustang Survival will keep your gear dry and protected in the nastiest of conditions.

“We are excited to once again be part of the Bassmaster Classic,” says Jason Leggatt, vice president and general manager of Mustang Survival. “As a showcase for peak performance, the event serves as an inspiration point for our design team to create inspired technical solutions engineered to perform in extreme conditions. It also gives us a great opportunity to interact with our users and showcase our latest product innovations.”

With a passion for keeping everyone safe while on or near the water, Mustang Survival will once again conduct boat yard PFD inspections for Bassmaster Classic competitors. Doing so will ensure all anglers have functioning PFDs in serviceable condition, and its importance cannot be overstated: Past inspections at the Classic have found an average of 5% of units requiring maintenance.
