Peeps Eyewear and Peterson Technology Group Win the Regus Small Business Essay Contest
Madison, WI (May 16, 2012) – As part of its ongoing commitment to the local small business community, Regus, the world’s largest provider of flexible workplaces, has awarded two local small businesses with one year of free fully-equipped office space in Regus’ Madison and Middleton business centers. The winners were selected based on essays explaining how one year of free office space would improve their small business.
Peeps Eyewear and Peterson Technology Group are already reaping the benefits of the professional amenities and prime locations offered by the Madison and Middleton Regus business centers, which feature fully-equipped offices, virtual offices, meeting rooms, videoconferencing and skilled administrative staff to ease the workload and let these outstanding small business owners focus on the task at hand: growing the business.
“Thanks to my new office space at Regus in Madison I can more efficiently and professionally implement my award-winning business plan and continue to grow my unique children’s eyewear business,” said Kristin Ellsworth, founder of Peeps Eyewear. “What a relief! No longer do I have to run Peeps Eyewear out of my warehouse space. Thanks to my amazing new Regus office, I have the professional workspace my company needs. It’ll be nice to go to the coffee shop just for coffee again!”
“Being selected as a winner of free Regus office space in Middleton will afford my IT consulting and services business the welcome opportunity for growth and flexibility,” reports Kevin Peterson, founder of Peterson Technology Group. “Before moving into the Regus workspace, we worked out of home offices or on-site with our customers. Having access to Regus’ facilities and services is helping us to increase our productivity and success in the business field and also allows us to increase our staff sooner than expected, rather than paying for costly office space in a traditional setting.”
The winners were selected from a pool of Madison and Middleton small business applicants. Contest entries were judged by a panel of representatives from the Madison and Middleton Chambers of Commerce, Madison Economic Development and the UW Small Business Development Center.
