Newton Consulting announces opening of new headquarters in Claysville, Washington County
Newton Consulting, LLC, announces the opening of its new company headquarters building on the main street of historic Claysville, Pa., about 30 miles southwest of Pittsburgh.
“We’re very excited about this move on a number of levels,” said company President and Founder Rick Newton. “It marks an era of rapid growth for our company, it provides a comfortable and collaborative working environment for our employees, and it invests in our local community.”
The company, which serves a client base across North America and in Europe, has experienced significant growth in recent years. Since 2009, the company grew from 33 employees to 73 today; from $8.5 million revenue to a projected $20.2 million in 2012; and from 26 clients to its current 47. The company also launched wholly owned subsidiaries in London in 2011 and in Canada in 2012, both doing business as Newton Enterprise. The company’s growth has been recognized in the Inc. 5000 and Pittsburgh 100 awards.
“We can attribute our growth to our business model that allows us to remain flexible in the marketplace while also attracting and retaining some of the top information technology, recruiting, and business consultants in the industry,” said Chief Operating Officer Bill Boehner. “This allows us to respond nimbly to evolving business needs while also providing the best of customer service.”
The company purchased a 1980s-era two-story building on State Route 40 – also known as the Historic National Road and Claysville’s Main Street, and refurbished the exterior to resemble an 1880s-era building to embellish the town’s historic character. Newton Consulting offices are on the second floor of the 10,000-square-foot building. The first floor is under renovation for potential lease. Local contractors were hired for the majority of the renovation work, which included interior design and construction, exterior brick work, paving, and the installation of an elevator.
“Our new headquarters space serves an immediate need for our company’s administrative and operational departments that support employees working all over the U.S. and U.K., while also providing the flexibility of an open work space for future growth,” said Director of Office Operations and Corporate Controller Shari Kienzle.
In 2012, the company added Operations Strategy and Mobile Application service lines to its suite of services that includes IT Strategy and Project Management, Talent Acquisition, Application Development and Support, and Systems Integration. “We offer business solutions that help take clients from vision to performance,” said Boehner.
Newton Consulting was founded in 2003 by Rick Newton, who had over 20 years of experience integrating and managing information technology for other corporations. Newton saw the unmet opportunity for business services to be delivered in the spirit of servant leadership, rather than solely driven by profits. He also wanted to create a healthy and productive work environment where strong relationships were formed with clients and employees while maintaining balance between work and family life and sharing in the risks and rewards of the business. With a simple yet powerful vision of what professional consulting could and should be, Newton created a unique business model that embodies strong core values and hired his first employees in 2006.
Through its early years, Newton Consulting operated as a “virtual” company with most employees working from their home or at client sites. A headquarters office for administrative employees was eventually created in a refurbished carriage house on Newton’s home property a few miles from Claysville. With rapid company and employee growth, the need for additional space and operational function grew.
“Many people in the industry thought I should move the company headquarters to a business district like Southpointe or in Pittsburgh,” said Newton. “But I feel very strongly about giving back to my local community, and community revitalization is part of that picture.”
An open house for the public is being planned for the spring. For employment opportunities with Newton Consulting, please visit the company’s website www.newtonconsulting.com.
