(Savannah, GA) “We couldn’t be more excited,” exclaimed Martin Sullivan, President of The Sullivan Group. “Knowing that an organization like Buy Local, who is dedicated to the businesses that make a difference in Savannah, sees The Sullivan Group as the premier resource for human resources needs in the Coastal Empire, shows the successes the company has been able achieve this year.”
On Friday, February 29, The Sullivan Group was named as Buy Local Savannah’s Business of the Year. Businesses were judged based on annual sales growth, local expansion, and involvement with the organization and its members, and community, civic and public service.
The Sullivan Group was founded in 1986. Through its numerous divisions, the company is able to provide its clients an array of human resource services.
Through Sullivan’s Administrative Managers division, The Sullivan Group offers human resource outsourcing. The company furnishes staffing and recruiting needs under the Sullivan Staffing brand name. Savannahjobs.com serves an Internet job posting board, while Glacier Technology and HotLinxJobs.com provide specialty job placements with emphasis in computer technology. The Sullivan Group also provides commercial and personal insurance through the Sapelo Creative Insurance subsidiary.
“Winning this award is icing on The Sullivan Group cake this year. After expanding many of our human resource service offerings in 2007, we weren’t sure where we would want to go next but this award solidifies just how necessary the HR business is all across the southeast,” says Sullivan.
The Sullivan Group expanded savannahjobs.com to include job-posting sites in The Golden Isles, Brunswick, Statesboro and Kennesaw and partnered with The Tourism Leadership Council in Savannah to provide services to TLC Board Members through jobsinsavannah.com. The company also expanded to acquire Qualistaff, a staffing firm located in Kennesaw, GA.
Also in 2007, The Sullivan Group began their highly successful Human Resources Lecture Series. Each quarterly discussion brings HR tips to the public on timely issues facing the world of employment and employee relations. All presentations are free and open to the public.
Buy Local Savannah’s goal is to enable local businesses to compete with economies of scale used by franchise companies in areas such as advertising and purchasing. The Sullivan Group was able to do all of that and more throughout 2007.
