Jamie Abraham will be continuing in his current role as president and as an investor in WHL post-closing. Jamie noted: “When I started to explore the options for my business, I realized that I wanted a partner that could help grow my business. Will and Benford Capital have an excellent track record of growing businesses similar to Warehouse-Lighting, and I know that they will be of tremendous help taking the Company to the next level. I am excited about the Company’s future and how we can continue to serve our customers with great products and service.”

“I’m very pleased to once again partner with the Benford Capital team on the WHL opportunity, and I’m very excited to work with Jamie Abraham and the WHL team to build upon the strong foundation that’s already in place. The combination of the people involved and my familiarity with business model has me confident in the path ahead,” commented Will Daly.
