WALLA WALLA, WA - Patrick Turner, president and part owner of Blaze King and Valley Comfort Systems, has decided to retire after successfully steering Blaze King Industries Inc for the last 10 years. “We wish Patrick the very best during his retirement,” said company officials, “and would like to say a heartfelt thank you.”
Alan Murphy, current vice president of Business Development, has been named Turner’s successor. Murphy will assume the role of president on March 1, 2015.
Murphy joined Blaze King in August 2011 when he and Patrick set the company on a dynamic new course. Over the last 3.5 years Alan has proven his ability to get the job done.
He was instrumental in revamping the corporate identity, modernizing the brand image, and improving representation. Alan was heavily involved in the design and introduction of many new products. Blaze King has seen significant growth in sales and market share during this time, and officials look forward to continuing this success under Murphy’s stewardship.
