## Story

AtWork Durant is locally owned by Holden Wright, a Durant native with a background in chemical engineering, entrepreneurship and franchising. He currently leads the engineering division for WP&E Technologies, owns a Marco's® Pizza franchise and co-owns Annex Games, a local gaming store, with his brother and childhood best friend.

Wright inherited an entrepreneurial spirit from his father who has owned restaurants and real estate in Durant for more than three decades. “AtWork is a great opportunity to support the health of Durant’s job market and to carry on his legacy of having a positive impact on our local community,” said Wright.

“We are proud to open our doors in Durant and provide a common place for both job seekers and growing businesses to turn for staffing solutions,” said Jason Leverant, President and COO of AtWork. “AtWork will serve as a key resource to help employees thrive, businesses prosper and communities flourish. Holden is the perfect partner to champion our mission and be a servant leader in his local community.”
