Parts Town Unlimited Announces Key Leadership Additions
Bill Geary joins Parts Town Unlimited from his most recent role leading a multi-billion-dollar division of Wesco, a technology-enabled, global distribution leader with more than 20,000 team members worldwide.
'Bill is the right leader for the job. He is a humble, ambitious leader with incredible and relevant experience. I've spent significant time getting to know Bill as a leader and a person and can't wait to partner with him on this incredible journey. We will be working together to build Parts Town Unlimited for years to come,' stated Steve Snower, 6 th Man, AKA Executive Chairman.
'I am excited to be a part of the incredible growth journey, and to partner with Steve and the amazing leadership team at Parts Town Unlimited,' said Geary. 'The business has incredible potential for continued high growth and innovation. I look forward to leveraging my past global business experience and history of managing high-growth businesses to position Parts Town Unlimited for continued success. I am proud to be joining a team with such a strong culture and commitment to core values.'
'I will continue to be very active in the company, inspiring our vision and values, building culture, developing leaders, working on major innovations and mergers and acquisitions, and supporting the team in every way possible,' said Snower. 'This transition provides me with the flexibility that I need to support the needs of my family. Bill joining will provide the strong leadership presence, expertise and drive required to deliver on our vision.'
Along with this change, Glenn Chamberlin will be joining the company as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Lori Sherwood, who has been CFO since 2014 and led the business through 37 acquisitions and astronomical growth, announced her well-deserved and long-planned retirement for the spring of 2026. As an avid traveler and photographer, Lori is looking forward to traveling the world during her retirement.
'We'd like to thank Lori for her significant contributions to Parts Town Unlimited. She has worked tirelessly to ensure our growth and support our team,' said Snower. 'She is a cultural icon at Parts Town, and I appreciate her integrity in providing substantial forward notice with a commitment to work with Glenn through an extended transition.'
Chamberlin was most recently Executive Vice President of Finance at BradyPLUS where he transformed the finance and accounting functions, supporting dozens of acquisitions and delivering EBITDA growth.
With the addition of Geary and Chamberlin partnering with Snower and the existing leadership team, Parts Town Unlimited has positioned itself for continued growth and innovation.

KBRA Comments on the Implications of the EU Trade Agreement for U.S. LNG
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As part of the European Union's (EU) broader REPowerEU strategy to reduce dependence on Russian energy and under the terms of the recently announced U.S.-EU trade agreement, the EU has committed to purchasing $750 billion worth of U.S. energy over the next three years to meet demand. Abundant low-cost natural gas across the Permian, Eagle Ford, and Haynesville basins—combined with modest liquefaction fees and close proximity to liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities on the U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC)—continue to make U.S. LNG incredibly competitive. While there is currently no impact to KBRA's portfolio of LNG export facilities due to their contracted nature, future projects could be affected if they seek to monetize merchant cash flows. While the announcement is a positive development for U.S. natural gas producers, meeting export requirements at this scale presents significant challenges. In 2024, U.S. export capacity totaled 11.9 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) across eight facilities, predominantly located along the USGC. The Department of Energy (DOE) has authorized a cumulative 55.3 Bcf/d of LNG exports as of June 30, 2025. Several export facilities currently under construction are expected to reach commercial operations date (COD) this year, with additional projects slated to reach COD later this decade. Further, up to eight U.S. LNG export facilities are anticipated to reach final investment decision (FID) by year-end 2025. While this additional capacity will support broader U.S. export goals, many of these facilities are already committed through letters of intent (LOI) or long-term contracts with international offtakers to secure financing. As a result, they are unlikely to have sufficient uncontracted capacity available to fulfill obligations under the recent trade agreement.

KBRA is recognized as a Qualified Rating Agency in Taiwan, and is also a Designated Rating Organization for structured finance ratings in Canada.

Vp Brandon Hire Station Cuts Accident Costs by 40% with Samsara
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vp Brandon Hire Station, the UK's leading tool and equipment hire specialist, has reduced accident-related costs by 40%, saving £192,000 annually, after adopting AI-powered solutions from Samsara, the pioneer of the Connected Operations® Platform. £192k saved annually in accident costs — a 40% year-over-year reduction Share Before using Samsara, the company – which operates a 500-vehicle fleet across 125 UK locations – was rapidly scaling, but struggling to build on existing safety initiatives. A lack of visibility, insight and operational structure made it difficult to manage day-to-day activity and maintain consistent safety standards. By implementing Samsara's platform, Vp Brandon Hire now benefits from real-time fleet data. AI dash cams and GPS tracking provide accurate insights into driver behaviour, enabling immediate coaching, targeted interventions, and structured reporting. Since deployment, Vp Brandon Hire Station has achieved: £192k saved annually in accident costs — a 40% year-over-year reduction 93% reduction in mobile phone use while driving 88% decrease in speeding incidents 63% reduction in harsh driving events 10-point improvement in average driver safety score (from 83 to 93) within 8 months 92 drivers now achieve perfect 100 safety scores, with 404 scoring 95 or above out of 630 Antony Draper, Director of HSEQ at Vp Brandon Hire Station, said: 'The perception was that we didn't have a problem, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. Safety is now a competitive advantage. Our month-end reports include health, safety, environment, quality, audit, and road risk data, largely driven by Samsara's safety scores. It's not just a management tool, but a set of KPIs for the entire business." Vp Brandon Hire Station has implemented Samsara data into daily operations, using safety scores to monitor performance and raise standards across the fleet. "Samsara highlights inefficiencies, priorities, and areas of focus," Draper added. 'It's transformed our approach to safety. When you have trusted data, you can make better decisions.' 'Vp Brandon Hire Station shows how real-time insights can drive measurable safety and efficiency gains," said Philip van der Wilt, SVP and GM EMEA at Samsara. By embedding employee safety into business performance, they've built a smarter, more resilient data-led operation.' Vp Brandon Hire Station is expanding its partnership with Samsara, with plans to roll out the Driver App for virtual coaching and implement Connected Forms for digital vehicle inspections. Its success has also influenced its wider group, with Vp MEP Hire introducing Samsara, and two sister companies also exploring the platform.
