“Working Solutions has a long history of providing outstanding customer service to its clients’ customers across multiple industries,” said Housatonic Partners Managing Director Joe Niehaus. “We’re excited to partner with the company’s management team to build on this legacy of customer success while developing new channels of growth.”
The investment comes after a year of strong business performance by Working Solutions as it continues to ensure clients and their customers uninterrupted sales and service support during the coronavirus pandemic.
