Judy Piercy

Judy Piercy is the Secretary of United Shipping and Vice President for the Hawthorne Global group of companies. She is the U.S. Customs license holder for E. R. Hawthorne & Co, Inc. During her career in International Logistics, she has experienced a variety of work experiences from her beginnings at a small local mom and pop shop to the largest customs broker in the United States. At Fritz Companies, she was the regional Import Manager for the Gulf Region. While Fritz Companies was perhaps her favorite employer, the company sold to a large corporation who wanted to enter the international arena. After several years with the new organization, she had the opportunity to return to the Houston area and work with Hawthorne Global. At Hawthorne Global she could once again share her knowledge and experience with her clients, focus on customer service and guide new importers thru their initial experiences with imports.

Judy serves on the Board of the Houston Customhouse Brokers & Freight Forwarders Association (HCBFFA). She is a Certified Customs Specialist and chairs the HCBFFA/Customs and Broker Protection Committee. Her current responsibilities with Hawthorne Global include International logistics/transportation, customs brokerage, freight forwarding as well as sales and customer service for all Hawthorne Global Companies. Customer service and sharing her knowledge and experiences with her clients and potential clients is a passion.
