England’s Stove Works (ESW) has named Jeffrey R. Bryant as company president; he will report to chief executive officer Carroll Hudson. 

“Jeff is a perfect match for our company,” said Carroll Hudson. He’s an Amherst County resident, and his roots are here, but he has extensive experience in dealing with national accounts, which is imperative in our business. I’ve worked with Jeff in various capacities for many years, and he is a hard-working professional, through and through.” 

Bryant actually joined the company several months before the official announcement. He said that he’s to join the company, and wasted no time in doing so.  

“I had to hustle to come onboard and begin working with Carroll and the team at England’s Stove Works during the busy part of the year,” Bryant said. “It was ‘on-the-job training’ in every sense of the word, but it has been rewarding and I’ve already learned a great deal.” 

Hudson said that he will stay on indefinitely as CEO, but that Bryant is already taking the reins of many major projects. “I had no doubt that Jeff would dive right in and continue to lead this company in the right direction,” Hudson said. “He just has a great attitude and work ethic to go along with it.” 

England’s Stove Works, based in Monroe, Virginia, is a family-owned business that was started by Bob and Ron England nearly 40 years ago.  It manufactures pellet, multi-fuel and wood heating stoves (as well as pellet grills), and sells its product nationwide.
