Why did Macdonald Consulting Group and Blytheco decide to merge?
Blytheco and Macdonald Consulting Group have collaborated, for the benefit of our joint clients, for many years. A similar business vision and approach to product knowledge and expertise, customer service and valuing team members all played a significant role in the decision making process. Merging Blytheco and Macdonald Consulting Group became the next logical growth step for both companies. We recognized this merger was an excellent solution to meet the growing demands of our national client base, allowing us more flexibility as a team and the ability to expand our professional service and product offerings. |
