Darley, a manufacturer and distributor for national heroes, is pleased to announce the newest addition to its team, Slade McLendon. Slade joins Darley as a recent top graduate from Auburn University, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and a strong commitment to serving first responders.

Hailing from a family with deep roots in the fire service industry, Slade has spent his formative years immersed in the world of life safety products. Coming from one of the longest-standing E-One Dealers in Alabama, his family business shares a common heritage and dedication to the fire service industry.

As Slade assumes his new role, he will be focused primarily on the Southeast region of the United States, ensuring a seamless experience for Darley’s valued clients.

Ryan Darley, Vice President of Sales at Darley, expressed his excitement about the new addition to the team: “Slade comes to Darley with taking care of first responders in his blood. His family has been supplying life safety products for over 50 years, and he has the drive to serve those who serve and make a difference in people’s lives.”

Slade is eager to make a positive impact. “Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the fire service and industry, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible work and sacrifices made by those who protect and serve us all,” he said.
