Manpower marks 45 years in the capital city
On Weybosset Street, in downtown Providence, Manpower Temporary Services, the largest temporary employment agency in Rhode Island is marking its 45th year.
Sheldon S. Sollosy and his wife, Gladys, started the company in 1954. In addition to its headquarters in Providence, Manpower has offices in Warwick, North Attleboro, North Dartmouth and Hyannis.
Manpower outsources employees to a wide range of companies, including office workers, engineers, computer specialists and software experts.
Sollosy has long been an advocate for education initiatives, job creation and employee training. He has also been lauded for efforts to work in conjunction with the labor community to overhaul the state’s workers’ compensation system.
”I’ve spent a lot of times over the years at the State House as a lobbyist for the business community,” said Sollosy. “I have a different view of the so-called politicians than the people in the business community have. The political situation is a process and you have to understand and learn to work within it.”
Sollosy shows no signs of slowing down.
”I wouldn’t know what to do,” he said. “When people ask if I’ll retire I say, ‘What for?’ I am very fortunate to have a wonderful staff I see no reason to retire. You can only play so much golf and plus my wife will get sick of me being in the house all the time.”
