About Celtic Marketing
In December 1995, Dan Hughes acquired Qualified Marketing in Albany, New York.  The name was changed to Celtic Marketing and a new food brokerage company was born.  From this humble beginning, the business continues to re-invest and employ the best professionals available to serve our manufacturers and retail partners.

Celtic Marketing offers cooperative arrangements with other brokers in their network.  This will give a manufacturer national coverage if desired.
