Insight Direct Adds 6,000 Sq. Ft. of
New Office Space
|
 |
With the addition of five
new team members in August alone, we needed more room to grow.
So, we have secured 6,000 sq. ft. of new office space atop the 6th
floor of 180 Canal Street. We are excited to move in on November
1st!
For fun we thought we'd include a couple pictures
from the week of the DNC convention last month. Our office building
is right across from the Fleet Center and seemed to be where all
the protestors wanted to gather.
The picture on the left was taken at street
level and the other was taken from our office windows on the 3rd
floor. Needless to say, the protestors made that week interesting
and a whole lot of fun!
