WHP Trainingtowers™ is proud to announce that Captain James R. (Rob) Van Bibber has been promoted to National Sales Manager. Rob is a graduate of Kansas State University and has 20 years of commercial construction estimating experience as well as 15 years of firefighting experience. His background provides the perfect foundation for a position with WHP Trainingtowers. His understanding of both firefighting and the construction industry combine to give him the ability to assist in the designing of new training facilities as well as redesigning existing towers. 

We interviewed Rob about his recent promotion:

What do you look forward to in this new position?

I look forward to working with our other sales reps and gaining a deeper understanding of the customers’ needs and how we can improve their training and keep them safe on the job.

What is the best part about working for WHP Trainingtowers?

WHP is a family-owned business with a great team atmosphere. We all help each other with the goal of creating the best customer service possible. I especially enjoy traveling to conferences, promoting our product, and interacting with customers. I pride myself on exceptional customer service, so it’s really a perfect fit for me.

What makes WHP special?

We have been in business for [over] 42 years and our products have consistently led the industry in performance and safety. I take a lot of pride in working for a company that doesn’t just meet the needs of the firefighting community, they exceed them. Over the years, we’ve gone from Padgenite burn liner to Padgenite Super, to our latest patent-pending Padgenite Interlock Tile. We are constantly evolving as the industry advances to ensure that we stay ahead of the curve and offer the best and safest products out there.

Congratulations, Captain Van Bibber, on a job well done and a well-deserved promotion! We are so glad to have you as part of the WHP family!
