Patrick Guthrie
Director of Outside Sales
My Experience:
I began my career with Wholesale Supply Group as a part-time team member while attending high school and community college from 1992 to 1996. After completing my education, I worked in the HVAC field with a local company before transitioning into showroom lighting sales with Tennessee Wholesalers (formerly Stokes Electric) from 1996 to 1999. In late 1999, I returned to Wholesale Supply Group, taking on roles in both counter sales and the showroom. By 2000, I was promoted to Showroom Manager, a role I heldโalong with counter sales supportโuntil 2017. I then managed our Crossville, TN location from April 2017 to October 2019 before being asked to lead our Nashville branch from 2019 to 2022. In 2022, I stepped into a new role as Middle Tennessee Area Manager and began working in outside sales. By summer 2023, I was honored to take on the role of Director of Outside Sales, where I now lead and grow our outside sales teams across multiple regions.
