When you start a business, one can only hope that it will grow leaps and bounds. You put all you have into getting it off the ground knowing that it will all pay off in the end. For some businesses, their efforts don’t always result in success, which is a sad thing to see. However, for Hill & Partners, we are pleased to announce that we have experienced those leaps and bounds and have recently celebrated 15 years in business!

What started out as a two man operation has grown into a reputable company with a hardworking team and a client list that takes us all over the world for all kinds of trade shows and events. Over the years we’ve reached many milestones, and we thought we would share some of those with our readers.

1995 AND IT BEGINS: Susan Hill and Michael McMahon open the doors at the Hancock Street address in Quincy, Mass. With an office that small, you really get to know one another! This same year, we signed on Polartec as a client and we’ve been working with them ever since. Thanks guys!

1996 WE’RE GROWING: Hill & Partners grows to six full time employees and StanleyWorldwide signs on. With the new hands on deck and a brand like Stanley, Hill & Partners keeps on truckin’.

1999 MOVING ON UP: The company moves to our current address, 124 Old Colony Ave in Quincy. Here’s a picture of where the magic happens. At this time we have eleven active clients keeping us busy bees.

2001 FULL SERVICE: After years of working with design groups outside of the office, we create our own in-house design group for our clients.

2003 SALES FORCE: More sales staff is added and we now have eleven full time employees. Woohooo!

2005 PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING: Hill & Partners hits $4 million in sales. Smiles all around.

2008 CHANGE IS IN THE AIR: Susan leaves Hill & Partners to pursue other passions and Michael McMahon takes over as CEO. Sales have reached $6.6 million. Ain’t nothing gonna break our stride.

2009 WE DON’T MEAN TO BRAG BUT: Hill & Partners receives the “Pacesetter” award from the Boston Business Journal’s list of fastest companies in Massachusetts. A great reason to throw a party!

2010 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US: We’ve reached 15 marvelous years of continued business and growth. We’ve completed 6,400 projects over 15 years and have had hundreds of client experiences. Oh, did we mention that we’ve had client project on six continents?

Over the years we’ve challenged ourselves beyond what we could have ever imagined. Our team has grown with each other and everyday we strive to be better than the day before. Here’s to our 15 years up and running and here’s to 15 more!
