Mackenzie and Paige Logistics LLC (M&P), a woman-owned logistics provider based in the Commonwealth, on Friday celebrated the ribbon-cutting on its new Florence headquarters. The company invested nearly $4 million and is creating 210 new full-time jobs, including positions for at least 120 Kentucky residents.
“It has undoubtedly been an incredible year for all of us here at M&P, and we’re delighted to officially open our doors and move into the new year with true momentum,” said Kimberly Hall, founder/CEO of M&P Logistics. “Once again, we would like to thank Gov. Beshear, the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development, Northern Kentucky Tri-ED, City of Florence Mayor Diane Whalen, and Boone County Judge/Executive Gary Moore, for their continued support. Just like M&P, my family and I were born and raised in Northern Kentucky. I couldn’t be prouder.”

In August, company leaders outlined an aggressive growth plan that included acquisition of a 26,000-square-foot building at 7900 Tanners Gate Lane in Florence. Among the jobs created at the new location are sales, operations and administrative roles, as well as high-end and middle management positions. The company employed approximately 30 people at offices in Boone County prior to the project.
Boone County Judge Executive Gary Moore congratulated M&P’s leaders on their growth and success.
“M&P is an inspiring, locally founded, family-run company that has a strong history of success in Northern Kentucky,” said Judge Moore. “Congratulations to Kim and Steve Hall on the grand opening of their new 26,000-square-foot headquarters.”
