WHAT HAS FUELED YOUR COMPANY’S GROWTH? Merging two companies into one, hiring a lot of new staff to compliment our current staff, developing a niche of services, aligning with a strong product partner, creating market awareness, branding our company and then having clients in southeastern Wisconsin work with us.
DO YOU PLAN CHANGES IN YOUR COMPANY IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS? We are moving to a new state-of-the-art facility on Rogers Dr. and Calhoun Road in New Berlin in November of 2006 in order to better serve our customers. We will also be adding new business development/ sales staff.
WHO ARE THE BUSINESS PEOPLE, LOCAL OR NATIONALLY, WHOM YOU ADMIRE? AND WHAT TRAITS DO THOSE PEOPLE EXHIBIT THAT MAKES YOU ADMIRE THEM? Stuart Briscoe – a pastor at Elmbrook Church – his faithfulness, strong ethics and morals and a commitment to always serving others are admirable. Also, I admire Rotarians throughout the world for their belief of always doing what’s right in any given situation.
WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK FOR THE BUSINESS CONDITIONS OF YOUR INDUSTRY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS? Excellent – companies throughout southeastern Wisconsin are constantly looking to improve productivity, retain good workers, attract new skilled talent and enhance their work environment to support these ideas. To do this, their choices are to remodel or renovate their current building or relocate to better support their business. We can help expedite all of these strategies.
Congratulations from these strategic partners:
