With a focus on expanding sales management to better serve its growing customer base, Bailey Nurseries has announced the appointment of Nick Stevens as Eastern Regional Sales Manager and Carlton Davidson as Western Regional Sales Manager. These strategic leadership additions come as Sales Manager Jimmy Kuon prepares to retire in February 2025.

Nick Stevens started at Bailey seven years ago and brings a proven track record of success. As a Territory Sales Representative, he collaborated with customers in Ohio and Michigan and later managed Bailey Licensees nationwide, playing a pivotal role in the growth of Bailey Consumer Brands. In his new role, Stevens will lead and mentor a team of sales representatives to ensure customers’ needs and goals are met in the region. “It’s an honor to lead such a talented group within an organization as respected as Bailey Nurseries. I am excited at the opportunity to help continue to set the standard in our industry by delivering the highest quality products to our loyal customers,” says Stevens.

Carlton Davidson joins the Sales team with more than 25 years of experience in nursery operations and management. A graduate of Auburn University with a degree in horticulture, Davidson has excelled in production planning, analysis, and management, most recently serving as Operations Planning and Scheduling Manager at Bailey’s West Coast division. In his new role, Davidson will lead a team in the region to strengthen relationships and drive growth. “The horticulture industry is defined by its people — dedicated, passionate, and collaborative. I look forward to mentoring and learning from our customers and sales teams while fostering partnerships that drive success,” says Davidson.

As Stevens and Davidson start their new roles, Dan Bailey, Central Region Sales Manager, will continue to lead sales in that region. “We are thrilled to welcome Nick and Carlton to the team,” says Chief Sales Officer Marc McCormack. “Nick’s exceptional sales expertise and Carlton’s deep operational knowledge create a dynamic team that will elevate our sales strategy and customer engagement across all regions.”
