Johannah Conway
The New Essex Office, Inc. |
|
|
An accomplished saleswoman and devoted
mother, Johannah Conway has been
improving women’s business relations in the
workplace since she was 22. Starting as a
customer service representative in the office
supplies industry, she steadily climbed the
corporate ladder while raising a family. Two
of her major accomplishments are being the
first female recognized by Corporate Express
for earning more than $1 million in sales, and more recently,
becoming the independent owner of the New Essex Office, Inc.,
an office-supplies business.
In its fourth year of business, The New Essex has grown from
an 11-employee start-up company to a 70-employee operation.
Conway has served as the office, computer and furniture supply
person since the company’s inception. This summer, she
purchased the company and has since transformed its level of
customer service.
Conway plans to keep The New Essex as a female-owned
company but is looking into possible mergers with other small
businesses that share her vision. She participates in the Women in
Networking Giving Support organization she helped to organize
that aims to promote cooperation in the workplace.
