Employees of Williston-based Hampton Direct, an international leader in the booming “As Seen on TV” Industry will decide tomorrow, December 11, how to divide the company’s $20,000 donation to local charities.
The company’s 2009 sales are on pace to more than triple 2008’s, which was the company’s banner year. To commemorate this growth, Steve Heroux, CEO of Hampton Direct, came up with a unique idea to give back to the community’s charities in which their employees reside. Last year, Heroux left the decision on how to divide year-end employee bonuses to the employees themselves.
Recently, the company announced a retail partnership with Lowe’s to carry the Twin Draft Guard product in 350 stores in the Northeast and the company purchased a building that more than triples the square footage of their previous location (20,000 square feet compared to 66,000 in the new building). The company also plans to increase its staff by 20 percent.
