VILLAGE OF PINEHURST, N.C. (December 2001) The Pinehurst Company has announced a pair of strategic new assignments for its resort and national sales teams.
Under the new structuring, former Daufuskie Island Vice-President of Sales Jack Bickart will move to Barton Creek, where he becomes Vice-President of Sales for the property in addition to continuing to direct The Pinehurst Company’s growing national sales efforts.
Terry Pate, formerly Vice-President of Sales at Barton Creek, will now move into the newly-created role of Regional Vice-President of Sales for The Pinehurst Company. Based out of Barton Creek and concentrating his initial efforts heavily on that resort, Pate will be primarily responsible for identifying and generating group business in the Southwest market.
“In the current travel industry climate it has become imperative that companies such as ours allocate their resources in the best possible way,” said Gregg Anderson, Senior Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for The Pinehurst Company. “This is a case where we are able to team two of our company’s most valuable sales resources to maximize our efforts in helping Barton Creek reach its potential as ‘The Golf Capital of Texas’ and the premier golf and meeting resort in the Southwest United States.
The recent transitioning of Daufuskie Island to a private club gave us the opportunity to take advantage of Jack Bickart’s outstanding track record of leadership and success by bringing him to lead the talented team at Barton Creek. At the same time, it allows us to better utilize the formidable sales talents of Terry Pate to contribute not only to Barton Creek but to the company as a whole. This is clearly a win-win situation for The Pinehurst Company we look forward to it bringing great success in the future.”
Jack Bickart is a longtime industry veteran who joined Daufuskie Island and The Pinehurst Company in 1999 following more than 25 years of hospitality industry sales experience including Smuggler’s Notch in Vermont and Wintergreen Resort in Virginia. While at Daufuskie, he oversaw the opening of the property’s acclaimed “Island House” conference center, and in 2000 he led his department there to The Pinehurst Company Team Marketing and Sales Award.
Terry Pate has amassed an outstanding track record for relationship building and sales success through the course of his 13 years in the business. He joined The Pinehurst Company in 1989 as the Director of Sales at Barton Creek and has overseen the sales efforts there through the resort’s recent expansion and renovation. Mr. Pate has been instrumental in raising the resort’s profile in both social and group markets, leading it to a number of prestigious meetings industry awards including the Award of Excellence from Corporate & Incentive Travel, Gold Key, Gold Tee and Gold Platter awards from Meetings & Conventions, and the Pinnacle Award from Successful Meetings.
