HR Knowledge Officially Opens New Location; State, Local Officials Share in Celebration

MANSFIELD, Mass. - Jan. 4, 2016 - PRLog -- HR Knowledge (www.hrknowledge.com), an integrated human resources service that offers HR, payroll and benefits services to approximately 300 clients with a concierge-level approach, celebrated the doubling of their space with a ribbon-cutting at their new location at 15 Berkshire Road in Mansfield last month.

Approximately 150 people turned out to congratulate HR Knowledge Partners Jeff Garr of Mansfield and Ken Bettenhauser of Sudbury.  The company also received congratulations from Massachusetts State Representatives Elizabeth Poirier and Jay Barrows, who attended the event and presented the partners with an official proclamation from the House of Representatives.  Mansfield Selectman Jess Aptowitz, who also works with State Senator James Timilty as his District Policy and Budget Director, attended and presented an official proclamation from the Senate on behalf of the Senator, who was unable to attend.

In addition, Mansfield Town Manager Bill Ross and Tri-Town Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kara Griffin both congratulated the firm on its growth and the positive work environment they have fostered.

HR Knowledge moved into their new space in mid-October, which allowed them to more than double their office space (from 5,200 square feet to 11,000 square feet).  The larger area better meets the needs of the growing company, which has expanded from 20 employees just four years ago to 50 employees now.

HR Knowledge, which was founded by Garr and Bettenhauser in 2001, was named a Boston Business Journal “Pacesetter” in 2015, in recognition of the company as one of the 70 fastest growing firms in the region.

“We are so glad to have had the chance to introduce our clients and neighbors to our new space, and to show them, and our employees, our appreciation,” said Garr.  “It was a wonderful night, and we are grateful to be able to share this celebration with them.”
