Hanover Direct Announces Appointment of Charlie Pellenberg as President of Domestications EDGEWATER, N.J., July 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hanover Direct, Inc. (AMEX:HNV) today announced the appointment of Charlie Pellenberg as President of its Domestications catalog. Mr. Pellenberg first joined Hanover Direct in 1983 where he founded Domestications and developed it to become one of the industry's leading specialty home furnishings catalogs. In 1993, he also took over responsibility for The Company Store catalog when it was acquired by the Company. He has spent the last 7 years at Brylane L.P. (Redcats USA) where he was the Senior Vice President of the Home/Lifestyles division. It was there that he founded and created the BrylaneHome(TM) catalog. "We are extremely excited about Charlie rejoining the Company," stated Wayne Garten, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. "His expertise and demonstrated results in the catalog industry make him an excellent addition to our team," added Mr. Garten. "Over the last year Domestications and The Company Store have been under one management team that has done an excellent job. However, Domestications and The Company Store are too big and diverse to compete for the same management resources and, as a result, we felt it was important to put Domestications back under separate management," Mr. Garten concluded.
