Chatham Company Continues To Grow, Give Back

A Chatham based company is looking to build on some momentum gained in 2015.

TekSavvy Solutions hired approximately 160 new staff last year and are projecting more positive growth this year.

Senior Finance Leader Christine Havens says the Chatham location now employees about 450 people.

"Just an increase in sales," says Havens. "We need the employees on the floor to meet the needs of the customers that we're taking on."

Officials say the Richmond St. office continues to expand to fill their 8,000 sq ft location.

Just yesterday TekSavvy announced that employee and company donations totaled $25,000 for the 2015 United Way campaign. The $25,000 donation is approximately $5,000 more than last year, in part due to the increase in employees, and various company fundraisers.
