After five years of growth,
Edge Partnerships is expanding into a new Downtown Lansing location. The advocacy and communications company, owned by Lorri Rishar Jandron and Angela Brownell Witwer, moved from its original Old Town location last weekend.
“We love our [Old Town] space and we love our landlord,” says Witwer, “but we’ve grown a lot since we opened, and the space is about double what we were in.”
Witwer and her partner purchased the 3,400 square foot building at 117 E. Kalamazoo and have been busy renovating it to fit their needs, as well their clients' needs. They installed a new furnace and air conditioning, lighting and electricity, as well as working with Lansing Glass Company and Old Town’s
Against the Grain on design elements.
“It’s beautiful,” says Witwer. “It has punched tin ceilings and is over a hundred years old.”
The increased space was a necessity as Edge Partnerships has grown significantly during their five years of operation. The company now employs four full-time staff members and three to four interns. Edge Partnerships continues to grow their client list and has yet to lose a client. Witwer attributes the company’s growth, as well as their customer loyalty, to Edge Partnerships' unique business model.
“We believe in keeping it small enough so Lorri and I have a part in every account,” she says. “We give them excellent service and we always have a hand in everything that goes on.”
