The Sales Chicks

Michelle K. Boyd

Chief Executive Officer

She’s often asked about her job title.  is she the CEO or COO?  Her passion is to serve her customers!  Over 30 years ago, she set out to start developing business relationships, but somewhere along the way, she developed many friendships.

Michelle is affectionately known as “the thread lady” for her 30+ year career in the industrial thread industry.  In 1989, Michelle began her career in the thread business at Bemis Mills, in Bemis TN.  She spent weeks in the plant watching all the details and precision of making thread.  The trucks arrived from the area gins filled with cotton bolls.  The plant had 4 floors of manufacturing and Michelle spent time in each department learning the details of every process.  Along with fabric, there were two main yarns manufactured:  ring-spun and open-end.  The processes for manufacturing yarns were long and complicated; however, you are no longer able to witness this process in the United States.  If you want ALL of the details on these processes, just give her a call and she will be happy to share her wealth of knowledge with you!  We can assure you there are very few, if anyone, left in this industry that have witnessed the entire process like Michelle.

She has been married to Larry for over 30 years and they have 4 grown daughters:  Mandy, Laramee, Kenadee, and Delanee.  In addition to their girls, the Lord has blessed them with two amazing sons:  Kenadee’s husband, Wade, and Delanee’s husband, Justin.  They also have three grandchildren:  Poppy, Odin, and Chanler.  Their children live in three different states, so they enjoy family time and traveling!  They also have three fur babies:  Mercee, Jonas, and Dexter.  Mercee is a therapy dog iwth Kirkland Cancer Center, local libraries, and elementary schools.

Needless to say, when everyone is home, they have a house full of chaos and love1
