Blackhawk Management Corp. Expands to Huntsville
Blackhawk Management recently expanded its presence from Houston to Huntsville in an effort to continue growing its services with the U.S. Army and further expand into the Huntsville market.
The company specializes in providing the Department of Defense and other major prime government contractors with logistics, information technology, weapons system sustainment and engineering products and services.
Blackhawk President/CEO Linda Moorehead expressed her pleasure in expanding into the Huntsville/Madison County market where much of the company’s customer base is located. Moorehead is responsible for setting and communicating the company’s direction to more than 300 employees across nine states and Iraq. After she purchased the company in early 2003 and made key changes, the company expanded its business base and steadily increased annual sales to more than $30 million.
Some of the accolades Blackhawk has won under the leadership of Moorehead include Boeing’s International Space Station Program’s 2006 Exceptional Company Performance Award, Small Business Administration’s Regional Subcontractor of the Year in 2006, Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist in 2006, among others.
“Huntsville is an absolutely beautiful community. Our customers are primarily NASA and Department of Defense so Huntsville truly is the place to be,” Moorehead said.
She indicated that the Huntsville facility will specialize in information technology and logistics for their client base according to Moorehead.
Chamber Board Chair Evans Quinlivan welcomed Blackhawk to the community.
“We are enjoying tremendous economic growth from great companies such as Blackhawk Management Corporation that are expanding or relocating to our community,” Quinlivan said. “We are thrilled to have a company of this magnitude here and look forward to seeing them grow along with the rest of our business community.”
