Experience
Chairman of the Board
Oct 1951 — Present · Cheshire, CT, US
In 1948, shortly after he married Gloria Pick, Herb started a business based on the idea of imprinting company names onto promotional objects, and Barker Specialty Company was born. Working long hours, side-by-side, Gloria and Herb grew their small business into a multi-million dollar company. They had four children who learned all aspects of the business as they accompanied their parents to trade shows and conventions. Today, Herb is very proud that Gerry, Steven, Adrienne and Amy all participate in the family business, and that they have taken over the operation of Barker Specialty entirely. With over 150 associates, Barker Specialty Company is considered one of the ‘Top 30 Promotional Products Dealer’ in the USA. The Barker Family Companies were awarded ‘Family Business of the Year’ in 2002 by the University of Connecticut.
