Why Argents

Dagny graduated from University of Dayton with a BA in International Business in 1995.

Dagny started her career with Argents in January 1997, handling outside sales from a satellite location in Cleveland, Ohio. As she obtained a few customers, she decided she wanted to have her own office/team to ensure the customer service levels she was selling were being met. She moved to Charleston in June of 1997 and opened the Charleston location. During this time, she not only performed much of the outside sales for the location, she also took on all requirements to run and grow a successful new office for Argents. Once the Charleston office was successful, she stepped down as Manager and had a few children while working remotely with some of our international partners. In June of 2005, she moved to our Corporate Office to assume the role of Director of International Relations and Customer Service. In 2011, she was promoted to the Vice President of Operations role. “I look forward to moving us forward in the industry, perfecting our customer service and compliance company-wide, and to growing along with our great team of professionals.”

William was born in Port Chester, New York in 1947. He earned a B.A. degree in English from the University of Dayton, Ohio in 1969. He worked a variety of jobs out of college, ending with two stints with air freight forwarders in the mid ’70’s where he gained the experience he needed to strike out on his own. He also pursued an M.B.A. at the University of Detroit during this time which provided solid business foundation skills.

Argents opened its doors in October, 1977 as a domestic freight forwarder, specializing in a personal, individualized service. Air freight then consisted of a handful of consolidators linked to airport truckers, with little thought to individual needs. A small forwarder could provide a unique service. Our clients received a call each morning, updating the status of their freight – a small service unheard of at the time. Argents excelled in next day and same day moves, pre-dating the overnight service everyone takes for granted now.

Argents has grown over the years, becoming a full service logistics company, still committed to the strong, personalized service that guided them through those first years.

Cynthia was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1948. She earned a B.A. degree in English from the University of Dayton, Ohio 1970. In 1977, when the company opened its doors, she took on the bookkeeping right from the beginning, as well as sales. The accounting aspect has remained her focus over the years, employing a full-time staff and overseeing a dozen changes in accounting programs, as well as the initial “computerization” of the books, years ago.

Human resources, payroll, insurance, tax planning, cash flow and banking relations all fall under her scope of responsibilities. In a small business, you have the opportunity to wear many hats, and that’s just fine with her.
