Reliance One is Growing!

August 5, 2014

Growth means change, and change can be a great thing! It has been quite the journey, but we are excited to announce the opening of our new office, located in the Bingham Farms area! After months of searching for the right location, tedious planning and budgeting, we finally found the perfect space for Reliance One to expand and grow!

“With every office and cube filled to full capacity in our headquarters, it only made sense for us to open up another office to continue with the momentum and growth we’re experiencing on a daily basis,” said Jeff Gardner, Vice President of Sales at Reliance One.

We moved four teams down to our new location, and they are more than excited to dive in head first and make a huge splash for Reliance One. This is just the beginning of big things to come!

The Fruits of Labor

July 31, 2014

A team from Reliance One recently spent a day at the Forgotten Harvest of Southeast Detroit. Matt, Ognen, Jen, and Max spent the day picking summer squash that was eventually distributed to families in the Detroit area. The task was daunting as there were eight rows of squash that stretched over a half mile long. The team pulled together to pick the squash off the vines, as well as pull up the plants so that the fields could be reseeded the following day.

“Volunteering was a great way to bring our team closer together while also impacting others. It was fun, but it was also hard work. It really made us appreciate the people that are out there every day making a difference in other’s lives,” said Matt Van Norman, Account Manager at Reliance One. The team said that working on the farm was without a doubt physically taxing; however, the optimism of the entire volunteer group made for an enjoyable day of service.
