The move to the Toringdon VIII building, located in the upscale Ballantyne area, is anticipated for the early months of 2007.  The new 26,000 -square-foot office is three times larger than the company's previous office located in the Coca Cola building and will provide the company with further expansion capabilities as it continues to expand its operations.

“The Charlotte office plays a huge part in our growth strategies for the future of HRG North America. The move into this new, state of the art facility firmly marks our long term commitment to the Charlotte business community.  This is a very exciting time in the business.  We look forward to further establishing our operations in the Ballantyne area and to leveraging the opportunity to draw from the broad talent pool located around us.” said Richard J. Payne, VP of Operations Planning & Implementation for HRG North America.

The decision to move into the larger space is structured to be more appealing to employees, with the majority having a closer commute, and to allow for more efficient service to HRG clients through the a state of the art facility and new telephony platform.  Further, HRG North America will be increasing the number of its employees at the new location by 50% to support the growth.

This marks an exciting time for HRG as it continues its growth in Charlotte and in North America.
