Solomon had been with Ready Pac since 2006, holding the positions of president and CEO since 2008, leading the company through 'several years of record performance' according to the group.
“I have decided that now since I have a strong senior executive on board to focus on the operations and financial aspects of the business, and one who complements an already strong management team, the time is right for me to retire from Ready Pac,' he explained. 'I look forward to spending more time with my wife and 2 and-a-half-year-old son”.
