BidBridge moves to new Louisville headquarters, significantly increases business in 28 states
Louisville, KY -- One year after transitioning to a new name, new business model and new management team, BidBridge has attained unprecedented growth by providing procurement officials with ever-tightening budgets, a reverse-auction platform within which prices are driven down by supplier competition. Working primarily with municipalities, educational institutions and school districts, BidBridge has gone from managing online auction events for its clients in four states in January, 2007, to over 28 states in 2008 including Hawaii and Canada.
With its rapid growth, BidBridge has added 8 new employees since January 2007 (bringing its total number to twelve) and has recently relocated its headquarters from Breckenridge Lane to the award-winning IMAAGE building at 7501 New LaGrange Road. BidBridge is occupying 5,000sq. ft. on the second floor of the building.
