F.H. Cann and Associates, Inc. (FHC), recently named a 2011 Best Place to Work in Collections, is pleased to make the announcement that long time student loan industry veterans Timothy Moore and Joe Barnes have joined FHC to spearhead the Business Development and Client Acquisition unit of its Student Loan Division.

“We at FHC are simply ecstatic about adding Tim and Joe to our Senior Leadership Team,” said Walter C. Steele, FHC’s Chief Operating Officer. “These gentlemen are some of the most well respected true professionals that the student loan industry has to offer. They bring literally decades of deep industry insight, experience, and documented success in the GA and Student Loan Vertical. To be able to add one of these gentlemen would be tremendous, however, to be afforded the luxury of announcing that both have joined our organization is truly a very proud moment for us at FHC. This is another example of FHC’s unwavering commitment to excellence and to provide our clients and the student loan industry with best in class service and performance.”

Moore has dedicated over 40 years to serving the debt management needs of the education loan community. He has cultivated long standing relationships with some of the largest and most prestigious guarantor and student loan service companies, and all of these relationships are founded in the highest ethical standards and providing best in class performance.

“Tim’s unwavering commitment to integrity and customer service is well documented and blends perfectly with the core values on which FHC was founded. Tim’s reputation is irrefutable, and he is truly devoted to providing nothing short of excellence to all who are lucky enough to partner with him,” said Frank Cann, President and CEO of FHC.

“It is a pleasure to be part of F.H. Cann and Associates,” said Moore. “Frank Cann and Walter Steele have put together a management team and staff dedicated to high performance and customer service. I am proud to be part of the FHC organization in a consulting capacity and look forward to working with their strong management team and collection staff who are all committed to excellence.”

FHC is equally proud to announce the addition of well respected industry veteran Joe Barnes as Executive Vice President of Business Development, who adds another 25+ years of committed service to the educational debt management community to FHC’s executive core. Barnes’ impressive resume includes leadership roles spearheading complex marketing teams that involve comprehensive RFPs and custom tailored proposals to address the specific needs of numerous Guarantee Agencies and Student Loan providers alike. Joe has successfully built an extraordinary clientele base including 13 student loan Guaranty Agencies that are the culmination of many years worth of close trusted relationships and top performance working at various third party agencies.

“Joining the FH Cann team is a culmination of a long association with Frank Cann,” said Barnes. “Our careers go back roughly 25 years and I have the utmost respect for the organization he has built and the executive team he has assembled. Joining FH Cann creates an opportunity to offer not only tried and true client based collections and recovery solutions specifically tailored to the educational industry; but also the most cutting edge technologies and product offerings in the marketplace today. This organization has delivered to its clients and to its employees and I look forward to building upon that foundation for many years to come.”

The addition of Joe Barnes, together with Tim Moore, and coupled with FHC’s existing Executive Management Committee form a leadership coalition with over 190 collective years of recovery management experience and client centric commitment to integrity, performance and accountability.
