February 4, 2010 - ROCHESTER, N.H.– BrandPartners Group, Inc. (OTC BB: BPTR), an industry-leader in creating and delivering high-performance retail environments, recently hosted a tour of its facility for Rochester city officials and Standard & Poor’s as the city looked to increase its bond rating. The tour was a success, highlighting the health and vibrance of the Rochester economy.
“Our goal was to illustrate for Standard and Poor’s that Rochester is not only stable but that it’s also home to a wide range of energetic, innovative companies that are very well position for long-term growth.” said Karen Pollard, Economic Development manager for the City of Rochester. “BrandPartners is a shining example of the best the city has to offer in terms of opportunity, especially in the current economic turmoil, and I’m proud they’ve made Rochester their headquarters location.”
The BrandPartners facility, a 65,000 SF space in a mill building located on the Cocheco River, is several hundred years old (one employee’s grandfather started working at the mill weaving wool when he was 12 years old) and has undergone continuous renovations and upgrades in the 27+ years BrandPartners (Formerly Willey Brothers) has called it home.
“We were just pleased to have been of service” says Jonathan deGregoris, who facilitated the tour. “Rochester has been BrandPartners home for a very long time. It’s part of our culture, and we look forward to a very prosperous future here.”
