Martie Butler, an existing industry specialist in the N.C. Department of Commerce's Southeast Regional Office in Fayetteville, has been with the department for four years. Originally from East Bend in North Carolina's Yadkin Valley wine region, Butler has a passion for food, wine and cooking. She enjoys working in her vegetable garden with her son, Harrison, and running the occasional 10K with friends.

Butler worked with Unilever, which announced in April that it would expand its manufacturing facility in Hoke County.

"Southeastern North Carolina was a great fit for this company because of our quality of life and the motivated workforce," says Butler. "It has been easy for the company to find qualified workers within the region, and they also enjoy their close proximity to the coast and Pinehurst. The central east coast location and our highway system made North Carolina a great fit for their largest North American facility."

North Carolina counties served:  Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Cumberland, Hoke, New Hanover, Pender, Richmond, Robeson, Sampson, Scotland
