Castle Branch CEO considers expansion in Wilmington -- or California

Castle Branch, a Wilmington-based employment screening company, is getting ready for another growth spurt. Brett Martin, CEO of the company, says they moved to the Wilmington area about 8 years ago with 30 people.  After adding about 50 jobs over the summer, Martin says they’re still going to need an additional 60-thousand square feet. 

The new facility, which will eventually employ about 300 people, according to Martin, will be located in one of two cities:  Wilmington, North Carolina or Petaluma, California. 

WHQR’s Rachel Lewis Hilburn talked with CEO Brett Martin to find out which factors will drive the final decision.
