Bridget Spruill
FOUNDER
Bridget Spruill birthed Spruill Cannabis Collective based on the sincere desire to provide to others what she only wished she had when first starting out in the cannabis business… a guiding hand to navigate through all the nuances of this industry.
As the former President of Wright Wellness Group (formerly The Sentel Group), Bridget led the company’s efforts in applying for state licenses in the areas of cultivation, processing and dispensing of medical cannabis in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Upon award of licenses, she had direct oversight of the entire deployment process, to include daily operations of site construction, zoning, compliance audits, development of SOPs, staff acquisition and training, and was directly responsible for all aspects of state inspections and regulatory reporting.
Under Bridget’s guidance, the health and wellness company saw a revenue growth of 190% in the first six months of dispensary operation, realizing an average monthly growth rate of 25% each month following.
Committed to the success of the industry, while also being keenly aware of the lack of knowledge and resources available to those wishing to further advance their standing in the cannabis space, Bridget decided to leverage her experience, and that of her team, to establish the Spruill Cannabis Colllective - a “one-stop-shop” for those seeking to lighten their burden as they venture towards success in the field of legalized cannabis.
