Plumb Club names Hess first executive director

October 28, 2009
Lawrence Hess, executive director of The Plumb Club.

New York--The Plumb Club, a coalition of the "best of the best" jewelry, watch and diamond manufacturers, has appointed industry veteran Lawrence Hess as its first executive director.

Hess will be responsible for developing new and innovative ways to bring added value to Plumb Club membership. He will immediately begin to oversee the build of the new Plumb Club Pavilion to debut at JCK Las Vegas in 2010. The new pavilion is expected to be one of the largest single trade show exhibits in North America.

Hess' 25 years of industry experience consists of manufacturing, sales, business management, product development and gemstone procurement. His jewelry career began in his family business, Jose Hess Inc., where he eventually became East Coast sales representative and vice president of sales. (Jose Hess was a founding member of the Plumb Club as well as its president.)

When Jose Hess was sold to Birks and Mayors, Hess joined its team as the Jose Hess project leader and new product development manager. In addition, he opened its New York diamond procurement office.

From there, Hess went on to be vice president of independent sales at Suberi Brothers LLC.

"The club is pleased to have Lawrence as our first executive director," Plumb Club President Victor Weinman said in a media release. "I am confident that under his leadership the club will be able to offer to its members and the industry many new and innovative programs and events, while meeting the ever changing needs of our constituency."
