This is Darrell Castle, I’m an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Tennessee and on this video today, I’m talking about something that’s good news. We finally have good news to talk about and that is a company called Conduit Global has announced that it’s going to locate one of its facilities here in Memphis – in Shelby County, Tennessee.
This apparently is thanks to Gov. Bill Haslam who negotiated the deal to bring Conduit Global here, so we’re very grateful for that. It’s supposed to bring 1,000 new jobs to Shelby County, and that is great news as retail across the country is suffering. You’ve probably all seen those figures – retail traffic down, stores closing, and so forth. So, having new jobs is a very very good thing.
As a bankruptcy attorney, I’ve seen first hand what loss of jobs can do to people – what loss of your employment does. Even though, in many cases, the government is there for a backstop with unemployment insurance and things like that, losing your job is no small thing, folks.
So, when new jobs come to a community, it’s great news, so I want to thank Conduit Global and Gov. Haslam for this news, and you can apply for these jobs online I’m told, so good luck.
