COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 23, 2020 – Central Point Partners (CPP), a national leader in staffing, IT products and consulting services, announced plans to purchase competitor Sympatico Resources – a move that will expand the brand’s expertise into new industries and promote overall company growth.

“Sympatico Resources has been a strong player in the insurance and travel sectors for the last 11 years,” said Pam Stanczewski, Central Point Partners CEO. “Their area of expertise aligns nicely with one of our current focuses on financial services and is the perfect complement to our growing business. We are excited for the opportunities this acquisition brings, and believe it’s a fundamental step in our short-term growth strategy,

” Stanczewski first came to know Sympatico Resources president, Nancy Postle, through their affiliation with The Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the largest third-party certifier of businesses owned, controlled, and operated by women in the US.

“The last 5 years, CPP has been hyper-focused on building an organization that values inclusivity, diversity, integrity and respect. Our “People First” mindset is an industry differentiator. We are excited to share our unique culture with new verticals and continue fostering the relationships Nancy and her team have built over the last decade.”

A staffing leader providing services such as staff augmentation and expertise in information security and big data, CPP has grown from a small-startup in 2012 to a mid- sized national player with over 50 employees. The brand has received numerous awards nationally and locally – a testament to their unique culture, mission, values and focus, and further solidifying their trajectory as a major player.

“Pam and Central Point Partners were the ideal choice when it came to the next step for Sympatico Resources,” said Postle. “It was important for me to find a company with the expertise and level of service my customers have come to expect – and beliefs, values, and a culture that mimic our own. CPP brings everything Sympatico Resources has been looking for in a partner. I know our customers will be in the best of hands!” Postle will work with Central Point Partners through the transition but plans to turn the business over solely to the CPP team once the transaction is complete.

Hello Pam,

Congratulations again on Central Point Partners making the 2020 Inc. Best Workplaces list! We understand that for some this is an honor that comes at an awkward, and perhaps even a difficult, point. But to my mind, the BWP award is a light in the Covid darkness, a beacon of the culture you’ve built over time, and, I hope, an affirmation of how aligned and committed your team has been—something that is useful to recognize in both good times and bad.

Thank you again for your support and interest in Inc. Best Workplaces, and one last thing. All winners have something special in common: a culture that encourages people in a way that allows teams to stay strong in the office or in one’s home office—even if the home office is at the kitchen table! That kind of leadership and the resilience it creates are worth celebrating, and I can’t wait to see how you do it!

Best,

Company: Central Point Partners

Growth rank: No. 17, at 58.3 percent growth

Top officer: Pamela Stanczewski, CEO

Company description: Staffing and IT solutions

What three words illustrate your company’s culture? Impactful, collaborative, inspiring.

What is the No. 1 danger in growing too quickly? A cash flow crunch – The ebb and flow of cash flow in and out gets more complicated as you grow, so you must have a realistic plan in place that accounts for delays in collections and receivables, along with a diversified client base.

What’s a company or entrepreneur you admire, and what lesson do you take from them? Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx – The single biggest lesson I’ve learned is to pursue your passion. You will make mistakes along the way, but failure is not an outcome to be afraid of. Failure happens and it’s OK. It’s a strength and will give you a much better understanding of what not to do the next time. Don’t let naysayers get in your way. It’s unfortunate, but you need to remember that these are their fears, not yours. Try hard, work hard and never give up.

What can Columbus do to improve the business climate? There is a talent shortage and I truly believe to better our business climate, we must reach down to help young people climb up. The high-tech field is changing so fast, the training of workers isn’t keeping up with the pace of the evolving technology. Employers, educational institutions and public policymakers must come together to address the skills gap and ensure that training programs are relevant to current and future needs.
