Let's Talk Business: Business Profile - Element 74

On March 7, one of our locally owned companies will celebrate a big milestone in the history of their organization. And that company is……hang with me, and we’ll get there.

Today we are profiling a local company that is cutting the ribbon on a recent expansion, but first let’s talk a little about how they got here. This company started in 2000 and was founded by one individual. From the beginning, they built their brand around providing exceptional customer service.

Over the years, they have continued to add employees. The owner has consistently been dedicated to employee growth and has experienced very low turnover rates. Company growth has demanded expansion of staff. In fact, in the year 2016, they grew 20% alone, going from 15 to 20 employees and have continued to add. They now sit at 22 employees with no signs of slowing down.

In order to accommodate the new employees, they recently expanded their facility from 2,200 to just over 3,500 square feet.  In the beginning, they serviced clients in Cape…now they work with clients internationally.

Their mission is to partner and collaborate with businesses and organizations to achieve their goals through smart digital solutions, while establishing lasting relationships built on trust and success.

Today’s feature company has built hundreds, perhaps thousands of websites and other digital solutions. And the company is…Element 74, a great local organization, with an incredible story. We will celebrate their expansion Tuesday, March 7th at 11 a.m.

Also this week, Safe House for Women will be celebrating 25 years at the outreach and thrift store location.
