North River Enterprises LLC, a pet industry consulting firm, has opened a new office in Cumming, Ga., to accommodate an increase in business.

The new 1,200-square-foot office is situated in an established office park, according to president and owner Melissa Brookshire, DVM. Previously, the company had operated out of a home office in the same town.

In addition to the move, Brookshire recently hired a new full-time employee to serve as key accounts manager, help expand the company’s services and manage the new office. New hire Nicole Hylan brings more than 10 years of marketing, account management and customer service experience to the company.

“I have found that over the past, probably six to 12 months, my business has grown to the point where I was able to add someone on-site,” Brookshire said. “Because of that, I was ready to open an office space and continue to grow the business.”

Brookshire founded North River Enterprises in 2007. The company offers consulting services to the animal health and pet food industries

“I believe that North River Enterprises is currently filling a void in the pet industry, particularly for smaller companies that do not keep their own in-house veterinary staff,” Brookshire said. “The addition of Nicole to our team will allow us to continue to meet the needs of pet food and pet health companies." <HOME>
