Relocation and Renovation

TUSK relocated their corporate headquarters in Charlotte, NC to the iconic Watermark Building just outside of uptown Charlotte.  The office, taking up half of the second floor, is a modern, bright space with floor to ceiling views of Charlotte’s Greenway.  In December of this year, TUSK completed their renovation of the space including updating the kitchen, conference rooms and entryway.  While so many other companies are downsizing their corporate footprint, TUSK has expanded and invested in theirs.  Kevin Cumbus, President of TUSK, shared, “I love the look and feel of the new office.  I find myself excited and eager to get to the office each and every day.  The team at 4 Story Interiors were so good at helping us achieve a modern fresh look in the space.  Additionally, we now have room to add new team members for years to come.” 

Community Outreach

TUSK continued its annual community outreach efforts in the greater Charlotte, NC area. The TUSK team attend a ribbon cutting ceremony at a local middle school for a sensory room that the firm funded in 2022. We also spent a day hosting a holiday party for underserved children for the third consecutive year at a school located in Mint Hill, NC. Additionally, TUSK announced the TUSK Gives Back outreach initiative which allows employees to make a financial donation provided by TUSK to a charity of their choice. The donation amount is dependent on each employee’s tenure with the company. Kevin Cumbus, Founder of TUSK said “The TUSK Gives Back outreach initiative is something all of us are proud of.
