CHICAGO—Rightsize Facility Performance, an office interiors and facilities services firm which helps corporate clients transform or decommission their offices, has just acquired the assets of Modern Office Interiors, Inc., an independently-owned and family-operated contract office furniture dealership based in Naperville, IL. MOI's Jim Peters will join RFP as vice president – suburban team lead.
“Jim's background and expertise in running successful dealerships fits seamlessly with Rightsize's core objectives and customer service delivery model,” says Rightsize founder and chief executive officer Mason Awtry. “In addition, his longstanding relationships in the government, healthcare and education fields align with our expansion plans for 2014.”
Rightsize operates a 200,000-square-foot showroom at 5000 W. Roosevelt Rd. in Chicago, a design studio and sales office in River North, and provides workstations, desks, seating, file cabinets, conference and reception furniture, as well as continuing to take on decommissions, furniture buybacks and deliveries. It decommissioned about 3-million-square-feet last year.
As reported in GlobeSt.com, Awtry, who started the firm in 2004, has been growing the firm and also has ambitions to significantly expand its regional footprint. The company now employs more than 80 people.
Peters, former president of MOI, has 25 years in the business including an eight-year stint at OfficeMax Workspace | Interiors. He will manage the firm's suburban team of account managers and designers as well as overseeing the firm's expansion plans in the suburban Chicago market.
