Display Group — a Corktown-based company — provides products and services for
marketing and special events. The 25-person firm (with
about another dozen part-time people) expects to hire another half dozen people within the next year.
"The year just ended and our revenue is up 10 percent
across the board," says Rick Portwood, president of Display Group.
"We had a lot of big clients pull out and we still found ways to fill the
gaps."
The 17-year-old company does everything from renting out
supplies for tradeshows and corporate events to creating marketing graphics for
its customers. The idea is to make their clients look as good as possible to
whoever is paying attention.
The firm has been quite successful at it, looking to expand
its space on Fort Street
on the south side of Corktown. It's currently remodeling 10,000 square feet of its
four-story, 165,000-square-foot facility. That new space will be used as a
showroom and event space.
