Over the past 20 years, the company has grown from one office, headquartered in Kalamazoo, to eight offices across the state of Michigan, northern Indiana, and central Ohio. “ This year marks a very special year for all of us at WSI. We could not be what and where we are today without the incredibly talented team members throughout our organization.  They are dedicated, passionate and a real joy to work with each and every day” reflects O’Brien. 

Throughout its twenty years of service, WSI has remained committed to creating a positive and fulfilling workplace for associates, internal staff, and clients they serve. This consistent commitment has been recognized through multiple awards and recognition across the nation.
