Two-thousand-ten, twenty-ten… no matter how you say it, it’s no secret that many people have high hopes and expectations for this year. We all make our New Year’s resolutions and foresee positive change in the months to come. Well, we didn’t have to wait long for some pretty big changes at Research Solutions; they came before the New Year even started!

First off, one of the founding partners, Dr. Richard Coyle, decided it was time to retire. After years of teaching psychology at the local university and running a private practice, Dr. Coyle tried his hand at entrepreneurship by starting Research Solutions with Shane Hunt, Chris Atwood and his son, Ryan Coyle. After nearly eight years of doing business, he’ll be spending time on the greens and travelling with his wife. While his good-nature and sense of humor will be missed at the office, Shane has taken over his responsibilities and presides as Director of Marketing and Sales.

Pete Dunning, our Operations Manager, also chose the beginning of 2010 to be a time of change. Pete, a childhood friend of Ryan Coyle, was the first hired employee at Research Solutions. Initially, his duties centered on data-entry and keeping the office clean. As the business grew, Pete began searching for our client’s requests, and eventually came to oversee all the office operations. While we all thought that sooner or later he’d pack his bags and head to Las Vegas for the promise of the poker tables, he decided to try his own hand at entrepreneurship. He and his old friend, Ryan Coyle, will soon be going live with a website dedicated to car-enthusiast of all types, Road Royalty. He will be missed, but has left the office in the capable hands of our former Delivery Manager, Heather McNary.

While these departures have left an empty space in our office, we’ve been busy welcoming new additions to our team and creating a positive work place. As always, we’ll working hard to make document delivery easy!
